October 10, 2025 – Seattle & Washington

Today, the flags of the City of Seattle and the State of Washington fly.

Seattle’s city flag is teal and white, featuring the Seattle city logo (a portrait of Chief Seattle surrounded by two lines), with the words “City of Goodwill” above and “Seattle” below. Resolution 28207, which formally adopts the flag, was passed by the City Council on July 16, 1990. The flag was adopted in conjunction with Seattle hosting the Goodwill Games. The resolution states that the colors of the flag are, “…”shall be white and teal blue/green (the color of Puget Sound at dusk).”

The flag of the State of Washington also flies. This flag is the only US state flag with a field of green and also the only one which features the likeness of a president.

RCW 1.20.010 defines the flag as follows, “The official flag of the state of Washington shall be of dark green silk or bunting and shall bear in its center a reproduction of the seal of the state of Washington embroidered, printed, painted or stamped thereon. The edges of the flag may, or may not, be fringed. If a fringe is used the same shall be of gold or yellow color of the same shade as the seal. The dimensions of the flag may vary.”
