There were a group on the Washington coast that work with iron that washed up from old japanense shipwrecks before any contact of Europeans.
There are also a few Inuit groups who made knives for centuries from a metallic meteorite that landed in the arctic circle.
Isn't Washington coast on the east side of the continent?
Washington state. The one above California.
Washington state is on the West Coast. Washington DC, the capital city, is on the East Coast.
It's... not intuitive.
When I was a kid, Washington the state, Washington DC, and the whitehouse all blurred together, and then we learned that the whitehouse burned and was rebuilt, and for the longest time I thought it was relocated... to the state... of Washington... and I believed that for years. I think I figured it out before high school, but it was definitely 7th or 8th grade before I could point on a map where the president sat.
We have Washington state on the west, and DC on the east.
