This picture shows a seal rendering, and the "3" in its title suggests it is one of several versions of the same emblem. The Great Seal of the State of Washington was adopted around statehood in 1889 and centers on a portrait of George Washington, a choice that links the new state to the first president and the nation's founding. Its surrounding symbols and the motto "Al-Ki," a Chinook Jargon phrase meaning "by and by," reflect the Pacific Northwest setting and the state's frontier past. Seals like this were often reproduced on documents, stationery and public buildings, so comparing versions can show how the design changed over time.
