The resolution honors the Daffodil Festival, a beloved tradition in Pierce County that has been celebrated for 91 years. Originally started as a small garden party in the 1920s, the festival has evolved into a significant community event that fosters unity and celebrates the diverse population of the region. Each year, 24 young women are selected to represent their schools and communities as part of the Daffodil Festival royal court, serving as role models through their commitment to volunteerism, civic responsibility, and community service.
The Washington State House of Representatives recognizes the contributions of the Daffodil Festival, its organizers, and the royal court over the past nine decades. The resolution calls for copies to be sent to the 2024 Daffodil Festival officers and royalty, acknowledging their ongoing impact and the importance of this cherished event in bringing the community together.
