The resolution honors the Daffodil Festival, a beloved tradition in Pierce County that has been celebrated for 93 years. Originally started in the 1920s as a small garden party, the festival has evolved into a significant community event that fosters unity and celebrates the diverse population of the region. Each year, 24 young women are selected to represent their schools and communities as members 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 93 years. The resolution calls for the acknowledgment of these efforts and mandates that copies of the resolution be sent to the festival's officers and the members of the 2026 royal court, highlighting the importance of this longstanding community celebration.
