This bill proposes the official adoption of "the evergreen state" as the state nickname for Washington. The legislature recognizes this nickname as a long-standing representation of the state, reflecting its lush greenery and natural beauty, which is evident in the foliage that remains vibrant beyond a single growing season.

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.
