"apart from Pearl Harbor, was the only North American location bombed by Japanese Zeroes during the war."
Reading this you would think that Oregon didn't get bombed by the Japanese. A bomb is a bomb, does it matter if it came from a Japanese Zero, or a Japanese Glen airplane? Wikipedia even has an article on it:
I-25.
Zero's where fighter planes, so they would not have bombed Dutch Harbor, you can check the [
Aleutian Islands Campaign] article for the details. — Preceding

It certainly is not the only North American location bombed by the Japanese. Excepting Pearl Harbor makes the claim even weaker.
From a historical perspective, Dutch Harbor, like Pearl Harbor, wasn't even officially in a state of the United States until 100 years after
Oregon became a State.

The article does not state how or why it came to be called Dutch Harbor. Does anyone know? -- Teabeard ( talk) 19:52, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
According to http://www.ci.unalaska.ak.us/community/page/story-name-unalaska-or-dutch-harbor, which looks to be the city's official website, a Dutch vessel was the first to anchor at that specific spot. 2602:306:CEAE:E60:64:5F4E:D041:6A9B ( talk) 10:30, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
