The resolution recognizes Kimchi, a traditional Korean dish with over 2,000 years of history, and highlights its cultural significance, particularly the "Kimjang" preparation process, which has been designated as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. It emphasizes the health benefits of kimchi, which is rich in probiotics and various vitamins, contributing to lower rates of serious health issues. The growing popularity of kimchi in the United States reflects a positive multicultural exchange, with an increase in its availability and interest among non-Korean consumers.

Additionally, the resolution notes that South Korea celebrates "National Kimchi Day" on November 22nd, symbolizing the dish's major ingredients and health benefits. It acknowledges Washington state's significant Korean American population, which has enriched the state's diverse culture. Therefore, the House of Representatives resolves to celebrate November 22nd as Kimchi Day to honor the history and importance of this beloved food, particularly as it was first introduced in Washington state by the Korean American community.
