The Washington State Legislature has passed a resolution to honor the Apple Blossom Festival, the oldest major festival in the state, which has been celebrated since 1920 and attracts over 100,000 attendees annually. The festival aims to provide a family-oriented event that highlights the community's people, heritage, and fruit industry. As part of the festival, three young women are selected each year to represent the Royal Court, and for 2025, Ella Johnson has been named queen, with Daeja Carlson and Yasmin Perez as princesses.

The resolution recognizes the outstanding achievements of these young women in academics, community service, and sports. Ella Johnson, a dedicated student and athlete, plans to pursue a double major in history and economics before attending law school. Daeja Carlson is an active leader in her school and community, aspiring to become a sports neuropsychologist. Yasmin Perez, an accomplished student on the Dean's List, aims to enter the medical field to help others. The resolution commends their commitment to excellence and encourages them to serve as role models for future generations in the Wenatchee Valley. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the Royal Court members and festival organizers.
