 What about Snoqualmie WA? I think the origin is on wikipedia but curious what the book says.

Snoqualmie- a city in Washington named for an Indian tribe, translated, " the people of the moon."

wikipedia posted:

The name "Snoqualmie" is derived from the Lushootseed name s•dukʷalbixʷ, generally interpreted to mean "ferocious people", a name applied by another Coast Salishan people in reference to the Snoqualmie people.

Thanks!
