Washington State - The Evergreen State

Washington State earns its unofficial nickname "The Evergreen State" due to pioneer C.T. Conover, a Seattle realtor and historian, who highlighted the abundance of evergreen forests across the state. Despite never being officially adopted by the Washington State legislature, this name has stuck as a testament to the region's lush greenery. On November 11th, 1889, Washington became the 42nd state to join the Union. For Washingtonians, the state's economic assets are highly valued for their contribution to both the local economy and the surrounding ecosystem. The western hemlock is proudly recognized as Washington's official state tree.
