Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Washington State Flags state flag — including history, display rules, sizing, and where to buy.
Tidmore Flags carries authentic, US-made Washington state flags — the only US state flag with a green background and a portrait — in nylon and polyester, available in multiple sizes for homes, businesses, and institutions.
For a 20-foot pole, a 3x5 ft flag is standard. For a 25-foot pole, go with 4x6 ft. For 30-35 feet, use 5x8 ft. Washington's coast and Puget Sound area receive some of the most consistent wind and rain in the continental US — size your flag to match your pole's capacity.
Quick-drying 200-denier nylon is the best everyday choice for Washington's rainy Pacific Northwest climate. A flag that dries quickly after rain resists mildew and deteriorates slower. For the Washington coast where Pacific storms and high winds are constant, a heavier polyester is the more durable choice.
Washington's frequent rain, coastal winds, and Pacific Northwest weather mean a quality nylon flag flown daily typically lasts 6 to 12 months. On the Olympic Peninsula and coast where some of the highest US rainfall totals occur, even a quality flag may need replacing after 4 to 8 months.
Yes, but the US flag must always fly on top when both are on the same pole. On separate poles of equal height, they can fly at the same level with the US flag to its own right (observer's left) and both flags the same size.
A sewn Washington flag with an embroidered or screen-printed portrait of George Washington is the better investment. Washington's portrait is the defining and unique element of the state flag — the only presidential portrait on any US state flag. A quality sewn construction maintains the portrait's detail and the green field's color integrity far better in Washington's wet climate.
Washington's flag features a forest green background representing the state's lush evergreen forests and earning it the Evergreen State nickname. Washington is home to some of the most productive forests in the US. The green flag is the only green-background state flag in the US.
In Washington, use aluminum or anodized stainless steel hardware that resists corrosion from constant moisture. For Puget Sound and coastal Washington locations, marine-grade hardware is recommended. Ensure your halyard rope is mildew-resistant nylon or polyester. Quick-release snap hooks make it easy to take the flag down during Pacific storms.
For indoor ceremonial display, use a pole sleeve flag on an 8-foot pole with a base and ornament. Gold fringe is the traditional finish. Washington's distinctive dark green flag with the gold seal portrait is one of the most recognizable state flags in formal indoor settings like courtrooms, schools, and government buildings.
Retire your worn Washington flag by burning in a dignified ceremony. Washington VFW posts, American Legion chapters, and fire departments hold regular flag retirement ceremonies throughout the state.
