This bill proposes the official adoption of "the evergreen state" as the state nickname for Washington. The legislature recognizes that this nickname has been widely used through oral tradition, storytelling, and on license plates, symbolizing the state's lush and enduring greenery.

To formalize this designation, a new section is added to chapter 1.20 RCW, stating that "the evergreen state" is the official nickname. Additionally, the bill clarifies that there is no obligation for any entity to update or revise existing materials, documents, or publications to reflect this change.
