  4. Washington State Flag Washington did not actually adopt the design of the flag until the Year 1923, thirty years after the state joined the union. The emblem on the state flag is the state seal, which was first designed in 1889 by Olympia jeweler Charles Talcott. He used an ink bottle and a silver dollar to draw the rings of the seal, and then pasted a postage stamp in the center for the picture of George Washington. His brother L. Grant Talcott lettered the words "The Seal of the State of Washington 1889."

  5. Flower and Bird In 1892 before women had the right to vote Washington women selected the Coast Rhododendron as the state flower. In 1928 the first three campaigns were produced to decide a bird for each state. Washington state children picked the Willow Goldfinch.

  6. Washington's capital is Olympia. It has been the capital since the year 1853. However, it is not the most populous city in Washington. After Olympia became capital city of the Washington Territory in 1853, the city's founder, Edmund Sylvester, gave the legislature 12 acres of land upon which to build the capitol, located on a hill overlooking what is now known as Capitol Lake.

  7. Space Needle Originally sketched on a place mat, the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington, stands 605 feet tall, stoically watching over the Puget Sound city. Built in 1962 for the World's Fair, the Space Needle was the futuristic dream of Edward E. Carlson. The structure cost $4.5 million dollars to build and took 13 months to complete. It opened on April 21, the first day of the World Fair.

  8. 1976: Tragedy strikes the Seahawks before they even play their first game when Lloyd W. Nordstrom the expansion team's owner dies from a heart attack on January 20th while vacationing in Mexico. 1977: In one of the dumbest moves in franchise history the Seahawks trade their top pick in the draft to the Dallas Cowboys for three second round picks. The Cowboys would use the pick to select Running Back Tony Dorsett who would have a Hall of Fame career. The Seahawks have never made it to the Super bowl.

  9. Buck Lake Buck Lake is a lake in Kitsap County in the state of Washington. I have been to Buck Lake and would have races to the poles that are in the middle of the Lake. The latitude and longitude coordinates for this lake are 47.9101, -122.5590 and the altitude is 144 feet (44 meters).

  10. The Ferry Boat Washington State Ferries is a passenger and automobile ferry service owned and operated by the Washington State Department of Transportation that serves communities on Puget Sound and in the San Juan Islands. It is the largest passenger and automobile ferry fleet in the United States and the third largest in the world by fleet size.The service is also the largest in the world based on the number of vehicles carried, having carried 11 million annually. I have been on the particular ferry boat several times while visiting my grandma. We have to board this to get to her place.

  11. Island Lake This moderate 10.6-mile round-trip backpack offers a sampling of the scenic, lake-dotted Alpine Lakes Wilderness. You’ll also have access to eleven lakes cupped in forest below rocky peaks. Island Lake makes a good base for further roaming in this accessible area, only an hour’s drive from Seattle.
