Evergreen State🏔️ About Washington
42nd StateWashington, known as the Evergreen State, became the 42nd state of the Union on November 11, 1889. Located in the Pacific Northwest, Washington is a land of extraordinary natural beauty — from the volcanic peaks of the Cascades to the rugged Pacific coastline and the fertile Columbia River Valley.
The state is home to a rich Native American heritage, with dozens of federally recognized tribes whose cultures and traditions have shaped the region for thousands of years. Seattle, the state's largest city, is a world-renowned center of technology, music, coffee culture, and innovation.
As America closes the era of its first 250 years and steps boldly into the next chapter, Washington stands at the forefront — a state where natural wonder and human ingenuity have always coexisted, and where the next 250 years of the American story will be written.
