History of Washington Flag
The Washington Flag was adopted by the State Legislature on 5th May, 1923. Washington became a formal state of the Union on 11th November 1889, but did not immediately choose a state flag for itself. With the commencement of the 20th century some cities of Washington used a military flag featuring a golden image of President Washington on a blue field. Other variations of this flag employed a purple or green background. However the official statue of 1925 standardized the color and other details of the Washington State Flag.
