If you operate a business in Washington or for that matter, Washington County Kansas, Google Maps probably has it wrong. As of this post, according to Google Maps, the Washington County Fairgrounds doesn't exist. In Washington, The County Court House doesn't exist, nor does United Bank, the Post Office, both Chiropractors, both grocery stores, all of the eating and drinking establishements, the Museum, and the Liquor Store is referenced as "Swirly Top" (is there something going on that I don't know about -- please someone help me :).

Is your place of business or point of interest mapped correctly? If not, in the lower right corner of the map is "report a problem". You'll have to create a Google Account first and then report your issue with Google Maps. If you are not listed, you should be. They want your information.
Why is this accuracy and completeness important? Many travelers use the internet to plan their road trips. They want to see what is ahead or might be ahead. An incomplete and inaccurate Google Map gives all the more reason for someone to keep going to a larger city or worse yet, they will travel on I-80 or I-70. It's up to you!
I reported the location of our Washington County Fairgrounds.
As for the Fairgrounds, we are now on Facebook: www.countyfairgrounds.org
