Adam West, the ORIGINAL 'Batman', is from the area in Washington state where I just moved from this summer, (Walla Walla area)...in fact, I lived at what's locally known as "Batman's Ranch" for 3 years.
Drew Bledsoe, former football player, is also from Walla Walla. I'm sure there are lots more from WA. I live in New Mexico now...tons from this area too I am sure. |
