I'm actually kinda surprised to learn that there is a town in England called Washington.  

I would have thought that after the American revolution King George would have removed any and all reminders of Washington from England.  I'm pretty sure he wasn't to fond of that name.  ;)

Ah yes, but considering what the lad managed to do I think the population of Washington at the time would have objected to a renaming of their town.  George's ancestors hailed from Washington, England, in the first place ya know.

Local boy done good.  ;)

We have two New Yorks as well :D

Swoop, if you get a chance, check out the North East Aircraft Museum between Washington and Sunderland.
