The resolution honors the Daffodil Festival, a beloved tradition in Pierce County that has been celebrated for 92 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 diversity 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 Senate recognizes the contributions of the Daffodil Festival, its organizers, and the royal court over the past 92 years. The resolution calls for copies to be sent to the festival's officers and the members of the 2025 royal court, highlighting the importance of this event in bringing people together and promoting civic pride in Pierce County.
