..."nobody has ever heard of".

You shouldn't project your obliviousness on everyone else.

Vancouver, WA is a suburb of and part of the greater Portland area. Also referred to as the Portland / Vancouver metropolitan area.

It's completely understandable that the "flunkie" at the counter assumed someone leaving from the largest city in Washington would be be referring to the 4th largest city in Washington (Vancouver).

Sounds like the big fee was well deserved.

So this is why so many shows supposedly set in Portland are filmed in Vancouver!

// Except it's not, they're filmed in the Canadian Vancouver anyway.
