Keep the distinctions
Rochester and Grand Mound are unincorporated localities. A Yelm, Olympia or Tenino mailing address can describe a county property outside the city. Lake and rural profiles retain their own jurisdiction and access questions.
Construction-year samples are shown by recorded name, with documented builder and developer roles only where the sources support them. No photograph is required for a place to be included.
