Admitted to the Union on November 11, 1889, Washington was a little slow about officially adopting a state flag specification. But, once the territory became a part of the United States, there seems to have been little doubt that a state flag would honor George Washington in some way.
That design was replaced at the time of statehood in 1889. Charles Talcott, a jeweler who had been called upon to engrave the seal, recommended a simple and striking design with the name of the state, the date of its admission to the Union, and a bust of George Washington.
The Washington Flag is truly unique in 2 ways. Firstly it is the only US state flag to use the green color for its field. Secondly, the Washington Flag is just the only flag among all other US state flags to bear the portrait of President George Washington.
The state's seal is none other than the picture of George Washington and it is beautifully encircled with a yellow colored circular border, on which the words, "The seal of the State of Washington 1889" are etched.
The Washington State Flag is the only state flag with a green field and it's the only state flag that displays an image of an actual person. It's a fitting representation of the Evergreen State, the only state to be named to honor a United States president.
There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Washington flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Washington flag for the future.
