Seal of Washington
The Seal of the State of Washington contains a portrait of George Washington, the first President of the United States, as painted by Gilbert Stuart. The outer ring contains the text "The Seal of the State of Washington" and "1889", the year Washington state was admitted to the Union. The seal is featured as the main element on both sides of the flag of Washington.
The seal was designed by Charles Talcott, based on a painting by Gilbert Stuart. Originally the seal was to be a scene featuring Mount Rainier, but Talcott proposed the design featuring George Washington instead.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of the Seal of the State of Washington )〕
== Proposed change ==
While the state seal has not been considered controversial in any way, during the 2010 United States mid-term and statewide elections, Ballot Measure 1069 was proposed in the state, which would alter the seal. This measure would require the seal of the State of Washington to be changed to depict a vignette of a tapeworm dressed in a three piece suit attached to the lower intestine of a taxpayer shown as the central figure. The seal would be required to be encircled with the following words: “Committed to sucking the life blood out of each and every tax payer.” The illustration would be selected from submissions submitted by taxpayers. The proposal did not qualify to appear on the state ballot.
