Why the smaller towns have no page

267 Washington towns appear on fewer than 20 licences each. A page for one of them would name a handful of individuals and describe nothing — it would be a page about those people rather than about the town, and that is not what this site is for. They are all searchable.

One limit worth repeating: the town on a record is where the Board writes to a licence holder. It is not necessarily where they practise, and these are not lists of local firms.
