That’s _Livingston_ (LA), and _Hanford (WA)_, of course.  [I confused this 
with Hartford (CT) for some reason.]

JFTR: The shortest *driving* distance between the two LIGO sites is, 
according to Google Maps, 2350 mi ≈ 3781.949 km.  Shortest walking distance, 
which should come close to the flying distance, is 2310 mi ≈ 3717.575 km.  
Gravitational waves would have to travel less than that since they can 
travel *through* the Earth.
