Naches, Not The Smallest Town.
I grew up (and still live) in Central Washington. The first 21 years of my life were spent in a tiny town called Naches, home of the Rangers.
Our town was so small, the welcome and now leaving signs were on the same post. It was so small that we once used our microwave, and I swear the street lights started to dim.
Our town was so small, for many years we only had ONE stoplight. And when they did add a 2nd one, it was a town event. And after a while, they got annoyed with it wasting the power (I assume), so they got rid of it and just used the stop signs. Don’t believe me?

There are great things about living in a small town. You know most everyone in town. Walking or biking to anything and everything is very doable. And when it comes down to it, it’s just more laid-back and nicer.
