US State
The flag of Washington consists of the state's seal, a portrait of George Washington, on a dark green field with optional gold fringe. It is the only U.S. state flag with a green field, as well as the only state flag with the likeness of a U.S. president. The secretary of state regulates flag protocol related to the state flag, as well as approving replica flags for commercial sale and other standards related to the flag.
The Seal of the State of Washington contains a portrait of George Washington, the first president of the United States, as painted by Gilbert Stuart. The outer ring contains the text "The Seal of the State of Washington" and "1889", the year Washington was admitted to the Union. The seal is featured as the main element on both sides of the flag of Washington.
Washington is one of the 50 states of the United States of America. Each US state has its own official seal, flag, motto, and a range of state symbols including a state bird, flower, and tree.
