A new middle school in Washington won't be named for late Puyallup chief Robert Satiacum.

The Federal Way school board came up with five names at a meeting last night but the list doesn't include some controversial and popular choices. Satiacum and Patrick Maher, a police officer, who was shot on duty, were removed from consideration as was Klahanie, a Salish word translated as "outdoors."

Students will instead choose from five names: Mayan, Salish, Cameahwait, Sequoyah and Subiyay.
