Washington State Flag Meaning & History

Washington became a state in 1889 but didn’t adopt an official flag until 1923. The Washington Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution designed this flag in 1915, basing it on a popular design used throughout the state featuring a likeness of the first president, George Washington. 

After the flag’s adoption in 1923, it underwent several years of color standardization and was finalized to its current color in 1967.

Washington’s flag contains the state seal and is consequently the only state flag to feature the image of an American president. According to Senator Guy B. Groff, sponsor of the 1923 bill that adopted the flag, the flag's green field represented the "verdant fields" of western Washington, while the gold seal symbolized the "wheat areas" of eastern Washington.
