Washington State Flag Redesign:
the Wimal & Cascades Flag
(2022)
This flag for Washington state depicts green forests and the blue of the Columbia River (aka Wimal.)
The three white peaks represent the Olympic Mountains of Western Washington, the Okanogan Highlands of Eastern Washington, and the Cascades along the state's center.
The three stars come from the arms of the state's namesake, but are changed to a pinker shade to represent the state flower (the rhodendron) and the state fish (the rainbow trout.)
The flag's elements are designed to pair harmoniously but distinctively with the U.S. flag, the Cascadian flag, my 2018 Seattle flag design, and this gorgeous flag concept by Douglas Lynch for our neighbors to the south.
