According to Wikipedia, Richland’s unusual mascot is the “Bombers,” officially named for the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress built in Seattle, but also in recognition of the city’s contributions as an “Atomic City” in World War 2. Nearby Hanford was home to the Manhattan Project’s B Reactor, the first full-scale plutonium production reactor in the world.
