What makes Washington different from anywhere else in the world? Is it the landscape? Our people?
Washington State History Museum Director, David Nicandri, has picked out some of the best representations of our state from the Washington State Historical Society's collection to display. View some of the features, events, people and landscapes that make Washington distinct.
This exhibit not only identifies icons, but explores why and how these icons came to be symbols of our state. More than 65 items have been selected to represent Washington in this exhibit. View Ezra Meeker's covered wagon; see a chunk of concrete from Galloping Gertie; hear Dave Neihaus announce the Mariners 1995 American League Division Series win over the New York Yankees; look over representations of our plentiful natural resources, World's Fair materials, and much more.
See what Washington has given the country, and the world.
