Tahoma is the origination of the name from the Puyallup with variants Tacobet, Takhomat.

Puyallup can be pronounced Pü-al-up, or Pooey-loop; depending on if you live there or go to a rival school

Oh is Puyallup the name of a group? I've seen it on maps and always wondered about it because it looks soooo much like an indigenous australian place name from the southwest of Western Australia.

The 'up' suffix is a common place marker in some Noongar dialects, so it's very common in town, suburb or neighbourhood names. The rest of the word fits so well as well. For example there's a Mullyalup, which is pretty dang close.

Neat! Puyallup tribe, yup. Now home to the Western Washington Fair, the largest state fair on the west coast!

Fun fact: it was built on the site where we housed the Japanese US citizens in WWII internment camps, even though they were US citizens.

...maybe not so much a fun fact

Tribe, got it! And it looks like they're Salishan speakers - that's an incredibly interesting language family.

The PNW had a very rich tribal history

Unfortunately (fortunately??) the city quit being smelly long before I moved here. My roommate who has lived here since the 90s remembers it though!
