King County cities and towns

I'll roll out city and town lists for each and every one of Washington's counties, but I thought I'd start with the one that has the most incorporated cities and towns. That, of course, is King County.

It has 39, including four that it shares with Pierce County on the southern border, and one that it shares with Snohomish on the northern border. From little town Skykomish to giant city Seattle -- what a range! The population figures are from the 2000 Census.
