Washington State Flag
| A short history of the Washington State flag | Washington State did not adopt it's flag for more than 30 years after it's admission to the union. The seal was designed by the Talcott brothers (who were silversmiths). They chose a dark green field to represent the lush forests of the Evergreen State, and refers to the state's environmental concerns. The official seal of Washington State was placed in the center in honor of the nation's first president. It is the only green state flag, and the only one to include an image of an actual person, and the citizens of Washington proclaim their intent to follow the guiding principles of honesty, sincerity, and devotion of the founding father.Their flag was adopted on March 5,1923. |
