Did Lewis and Clark discover Washington state?

Lewis and Clark did not discover Washington state. Native American tribes had lived in the region for thousands of years before the expedition arrived. Lewis and Clark did explore and document parts of what is now Washington state during their journey from 1804 to 1806.


Were William Clark and Meriwether Lewis related?

There is no known family connection between Lewis and Clark, but this doesn't not mean there isn't one. Meriwether Lewis's family tree has been researched back through at least 32 generations with links to both European Royalty and American Presidents. William Clark's ancestry is a bit murkier as it pretty much hits a brick wall after going back a mere 5 generations.

What was the name of the dog that was with Lewis and Clark on their expedition?

Lewis' dog, of the Lewis and Clark expedition, was of the Newfoundland breed. Historians differ on whether the dog was named "Seaman" or "Scannon", depending on how you read Lewis' writing. Lewis purchased him for some $20 from a riverboat captain before he left Washington D.C. The captain had won him and his mother playing cards. Seaman (or Scannon) accompanied Lewis all the way to the Pacific Ocean and returned with him to St. Louis. The Newfoundland is a big dog with a kind personality. Lewis prised the dog "much for his docility and qualifications generally for my journey." This particular breed is a working dog, especially used in the sea fishing industry. These types of dogs would pull in the fish loaded nets.
