Grant, Washington - Wikipedia

It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern:

Non-notable location; a post office does not make a place a "community". There is a historic Grant School: [1], and early topos show a Grant Ferry, but there is no "community" of Grant until the 1953 topo map: [2], long after the school and post office were closed. From the Grant School website the area appears to be called Pickering today; the nondescript name makes it hard to search for more information. Without further information this site fails WP:GEOLAND. I wouldn't be opposed to an article about the school, but there doesn't seem to be a community. (proposed by WeirdNAnnoyed)
