I have lived in Kingsgate for 42 years. I do not want the name changed. When I go for directions, it often comes up that I live in Kingsgate, Washington. We are mentioned on all traffic reports. LEAVE THE NAME ALONE.
The legal description of Kingsgate plated in @ 1964 or 1965, was 'Kingsgate Highlands, Divisions 1 through 6. Please, let's keep the Kingsgate name. We have a history!
Evergreen Hill? That is ridiculous. Why don't we change the name of United States of America to Central North America? Leave a good thing a good thing. Those who have no sense of tradition and/or loyalty need to find their own place to name, not change the name of a place that has such a great history and tradition, as Kingsgate.
one of the first residents to have our home built in the "planned community" of Kingsgate in 1966...raised my family there forming wonderful memories in Kingsgate...love the name established long ago and see no need to change it
I've lived in "Kingagate" for nearly 40 years. I Own a customer service based business based out of Kingsgate. I almost choked when I saw the title "Evergreenhill" on a kiosk outside of the fire station. I'm glad there may be something we as a community can do! PLEASE don't change the name of our neighborhood!!

Even the United States Census Bureau considers us to be Kingsgate. Changing the name to honor a local hospital that was not part of the PAA seems arbitrary and ignorant of the area's history.
