"She was the governor of Oklahoma?" (referring to Brenda Frazier's
mom playing the lead character in Oklahoma)

Brenda Frazier
Note: Later in this episode, Trent
imagines that the governor of his own state comes to see him giving
an oral report in his class, however, he doesn't declare which
state.
"Um... oh, where did you and Bernard go? Washington state?"

The State of Things...
Historically, Odyssey cannot be
located in Washington. In
The Ill-Gotten
Deed, Whit reads a book, with the first line explaining that
Odyssey was founded in the early 1800's. Washington was not a
state during this time. Odyssey cannot be located in Washington,
according to history's standards.
If traveling by train, it is a day's
journey from Chicago to Odyssey. (Train
Ride) If this is true, then
it would be awfully difficult to take a train ride from
Washington to Chicago in a day's time.
In
The Truth
About Zachary, Zachary Sellars and his mom move from a city
called Richland. Richland is a well-known city in Washington.
However not enough clues are given to prove that Odyssey is or
is not located in Washington. Another monkey wrench in the works
is that another episode,
All-Star
Witness, mentions Richland as well. Ashley Jenkins mentions
that scouts from Briarhurst Academy in Richland go to the
All-Star game for the Odyssey Little League. This indicates that
the Richland in Washington and the Richland near Odyssey are two
separate cities. Odyssey, in fact, resides near a city near
Richland.
