About Washington
The story of Washington
Washington is Mount Rainier towering over Seattle, orca pods in the San Juans, apple country in Yakima, and the Cascades under evergreen fog.
History & heritage
Admitted as the 42nd state in 1889, Washington grew from timber and salmon into the aerospace home of Boeing and the tech home of Amazon and Microsoft. With the state motto “Alki” and a founding year of 1889, Washington carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.
Geography & landscape
The Cascades split the state — wet evergreen west, dry high-desert east — with the Olympic rainforest on one side and apple orchards on the other. Covering 71,362 sq mi, Washington lies in the Pacific Northwest region and runs on Pacific time.
Culture, food and traditions
Coffee culture, grunge music, Seahawks 12s, Amazon and Microsoft campuses, and outdoor life from Rainier to Puget Sound shape Washington. From regional flavors like salmon, Dungeness crab, Rainier cherries to festivals such as Seafair and Bumbershoot, the culture of Washington shows up in every collection we design.
Sports, colleges and community
Home teams like Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, Sounders and universities such as Washington, Washington State, Gonzaga anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our Washington designs.
Parks, landmarks and wildlife
Landmarks like Space Needle, Pike Place Market, Mount Rainier, San Juan Islands and protected lands such as Mount Rainier, Olympic, North Cascades give Washington its outdoor identity. The state animal is the Olympic Marmot, the state bird is the Goldfinch, and the state tree is the Western Hemlock — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
