No, you're not the only one. But I live in Vancouver USA and am used to everyone assuming I mean BC.

When I say I'm from Washington, they assume DC.

When I say Portland, they assume Maine.

Finally (back in the 80's) I started saying "near Mt. St. Helens" and everyone said "Ohhh, ok, Seattle!"

Sigh.
