City of Lake Forest Park - Est 1833 (wait, that can't be right...)

One of the distinctive features of the Albertsons LLC decor package is the city name wall, here located over the packaged meats. Unfortunately, the info here isn't remotely correct! First off, the established date is way off -- Lake Forest Park wasn't incorporated until 1961, wasn't developed until the 1910s, Seattle wasn't developed until the 1850s, and even Oregon Territory wasn't formed until 1849! Secondly, the map pin location is massively off, looking to be somewhere between Mt Rainier and Snoqualmie Pass, in other words, in uninhabited mountain terrain. Seriously, I have no idea how Albertsons could have messed this up so badly -- none of this information is remotely hard to find online, and you'd think someone somewhere along the line would have noticed how implausible it all is...
