It's no surprise that most of the cities and towns are in the Puget Sound area. That is, of course, where the population is centered. But the three top counties on this list are followed immediately by five eastern Washington counties. The (usually) smaller rural towns organized themselves much earlier than their counterparts in the west -- many of which incorporated and started emerging from suburban sprawl only in the last fifteen years.
By the way-- there are many "towns" in Washington, but many are simply settlements or large adjacent neighborhoods. The numbers listed below include only those incorporated into organized formal local governments.
1. King County, 39
2. Pierce County, 24
3. Snohomish County, 20
4. Whitman County, 16
5. Grant County, 15
6. Yakima County, 14
7. Okanogan County, 13
7. Spokane County, 13
9. Grays Harbor County, 9
9. Lewis County, 9
