You've made this assertion a couple of times now.  In the case of Washington
section, which of the new sections is considered the "original"?   Here's the 
announcement of the split in the April, 1989 issue of QST (accessible to 
ARRL members only, I'm afraid):

http://p1k.arrl.org/cgi-bin/topdf.cgi?id=82590&pub=qst

The announcement begins "The Washington Section has been divided into two 
ARRL Sections, Eastern Washington and Western Washington, effective February 
6, 1989."  Nothing in the announcement suggests that one of those two new 
sections is the old section renamed.
