    Washington State man here: THANK YOU. I LOVE my State. I have lived in Washington most of my life, but I have worked in and lived in Cali, Texas (Texas rules) Ohio, PA, AZ, and a few others. Washington State remain my favorite, and I'd rather live in WA then anywhere else in the world. It has everything I like: rain, trees, mountain, hills, valleys, lakes, large rural sections, national forests, a coast, and relatively relaxed gun laws for a blue state. So I love WA. But our flag makes me cringe. A seal is meant to be on printed pieces of paper where it can be seen and read. Not a flag, where it can't. Further, if you have to state what you're representing on your flag, your representation has failed. And, for that matter, most of the flag is just a solid color. Finally, since these state seal flags aren't distinctive or original, they're boring, and so no one ever sees them, and they inspire no state pride. WA deserves a better flag.

    The stars in the in middle represent the other flags that have "flown" over Arkansas. Arkansas was a Spanish colony, then French, then British (the last two might be backwards), and then it switched hands between those nations several times before the LA purchase. Unfortunately, a fourth flag briefly flew over our state, hence the fourth star. I honestly think it should inverse. Three stars on top, one hard lesson on the bottom.

    Collection currently:
    *Confederate naval flag* , *stars and bars* with 7 stars, tattered *old glory* since I use my nice one outside now, *virginia* , *spain* , *rhodesia*

      As a Californian, I feel the same about our flag. A picture of a strange looking bear when everything about our state is so much more interesting then this lone bear species. Our flag should reflect a symbol of the California Gold Rush of 1848 which started the mass migration of people to the state. Our State Motto is "Eureka!" (Greek for "I Have Found It") referring to the discovery of gold during the gold rush. State Nickname: Golden State. State Flower: Golden Poppy which grows in abundance in certain areas. Seems like it would be pretty cohesive to have the flag follow the same theme. That bear is a bore. lol.

    The one about Hawaii is actually a really common misconception, it’s actually because the Union Jack was associated with Britain (the most powerful navy then). Fly the jack, no one messes with you.

    -The farmer for the farms
    -The Native American for the Native Americans who roamed our land first
    -1858 for when we became a state
    -The water for our lakes
    -The trees for our forests
    -The French words mean “Star of the North”

    "to few americans know the history and meaning behind those flags."
    go to a texas school, and they will nonstop talk about texas, our flag, and all the history behind it.
    talk about it once every week for a whole year.
    now say that without texas being involved and ya ur right
    sorry if i sound mad.
