This bill officially designates "the evergreen state" as the state nickname for Washington. The legislature recognizes that this nickname has been widely used and associated with the state due to its lush, green foliage that remains vibrant throughout the year. The adoption of this nickname aims to formalize a long-standing tradition that reflects the state's natural beauty.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that there is no obligation for any entity to update or revise existing materials, documents, or publications to reflect this new designation. This ensures that the implementation of the nickname does not impose unnecessary burdens on organizations or individuals.
