Seal of Washington

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Washington state seal

The Washington state seal contains a portrait of George Washington, as painted by Gilbert Stuart. The outer ring contains the text "The Seal of the State of Washington" and "1889", the year Washington state was admitted to the Union. The seal is featured on the Flag of Washington.

The seal was designed by Charles Talcott, based off of a painting by Gilbert Stuart. Originally the seal was to be a scene featuring Mount Rainier, but Talcott proposed the design featuring George Washington instead. [1]
