Firstly it is the only US state flag to use the green color for its field. Secondly the\u00a0<b>Washington Flag<\/b>\u00a0is just the only flag among all other US state flags to bear the portrait of President\u00a0<a class=\"content-link\" title=\" George Washington \" href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/usa\/presidents\/washington-george.html\"><b>George Washington<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The state&#8217;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, &#8220;The seal of the State of Washington 1889&#8221; are etched.<\/p>\n<h3>History of Washington Flag<\/h3>\n<p>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\u00a0<b>Washington State Flag<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h3>Symbolism of Washington Flag<\/h3>\n<p>The green shade on the Washington Flag justifies the state&#8217;s nickname, which is the &#8220;Evergreen State&#8221;. It is also a hue generally associated with lush vegetation, that characterizes the state. The date 1899, is that year in which, Washington became a state of the US. The wonderful green colored\u00a0<b>Washington Flag<\/b>\u00a0is noteworthy for depicting the first president of the USA.<\/p>\n<p>For flags of other states of the USA, check the <span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Flags of the 50 States&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:6723,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;4&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:16777215},&quot;9&quot;:0,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0},&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Arial&quot;}\"><a href=\"\/usa\/state-flags\/\">Flags of the 50 States<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The description of the Washington Flag is simple, being symbolic at the same time.
