The only thing I notice is wEnATchee - sometimes they do things like
that, i.e. EWK for nEWarK, etc. also 'W' is not allowed as a first
letter (nor K or N).

FYI Newark is EWR

I always wondered how they came up with Canadian airport identifiers.
None of them seem to have any connection with the airport names.

GOO ....funny name.

I see it was recently changed from O17 to GOO - I have absolutely no
idea where they're coming up with the identifiers for these changes.
There's an airport near me, Zelienople Municipal Airport, that changed
from 8G7 to PJC and I can't figure out any connection. If anyone has
any insight I'd love to hear it...

Since they changed from a non-ICAO id (i.e. one containing digits) to an
ICAO-eligible one, I assume they recently got an ASOS or AWOS. As for why
they picked that particular id, PJC, maybe it's just the best of the
remaining ids?

As far as i can tell KZEL is available, or KZMA, or ... but who
knows. PJC just seems completely random - I can't figure out a person
or place to connect it to.

According to http://www.skygod.com/asstd/abc.html "Z" codes have been
reserved for "special uses".
Along with the dirth of ids there are also apparently restrictions
such as "the first and second letters or second and third letters of
an identifier may not be duplicated with less than 200 nautical miles
separation." Ids like PJC maybe what you end up with in that
situation.
