Washington lawmaker waves plan for state flag redesign [View all]

There’s controversy gusting through the Washington Legislature over a proposed redesign of the state flag.

House Bill 1938, sponsored by Rep. Strom Peterson, D-Edmonds, would create a committee to come up with the redesign by 2028.

“[We’re] not asking to remove George Washington from the history of Washington state,” Peterson said. “This is more about the aesthetics of the flag and what the flag could represent to bring people across the state together.”

Peterson says the current design is plain and this proposal is an opportunity to create civic engagement, highlight Washington’s rich agricultural diversity, and create a sense of pride.

The current one works just fine in my opinion.
