Interesting Trivia

The Strait of Juan de Fuca is that stretch of water which leads from the Pacific Ocean into Puget Sound and bordered by Washington's Olympic Peninsula and Vancouver Island. See Here.

Named for the person purported to have discovered the inlet in 1596, as it turns out the assumption that this gentleman would have been Spanish is in fact dead wrong. While he was sailing under the Spanish Flag, Juan de Fuca's real name was Apostolos Valerianos, and you guessed it: he was Greek. And so we could arguably say that the first european to reach as far north as British Columbia might well have been Orthodox.
