The whole area has close to 75,000 thousand or so, it is huge. The town proper may have about 40,000 but there are lots of people outside the limits who work and shop in town. I mean they have a giant Sam's Club and more than one Fred Meyer. It isn't like it is my town with 20,000 people, including students.
