It has a ton of opposition too. I actually bought that flag during the Kickstarter campaign. I posted it on Reddit and it got a LOT of hate and the most common sentiment was, "our current flag is fine/better."
I think the flag change (which NEEDS to happen) is an uphill battle and that hill is Tahoma.
That's the original designer prior to his Kickstarter campaign.
Here's my post. I just realized I posted it to the vexillology sub not the Washington. So I shouldn't have read into the critique as much if they aren't actually Washingtonians.
(PS I am a fellow transplant. Welcome to the region! If you're interested in flag redesigns check out Maine's current flag and popular choice to replace it!)

Made me immediately think about when I was in college in Washington State. WA (and Oregon for that matter) have paper temp plates that just need to be on the car somewhere. I think the law is "visible from the rear window". So all these blacked out cars and sports cars have their temp plates for months hidden behind their black tint or up in the dash in a way you can't even see it.
I think it's kind of dump they don't make you display. But also 20% of the cars in Washington are stolen so stealing a temp plate seems like it would be a pretty common crime.

Where is that guy on here trying to see a moose with his wife before they move to Boston?

Tons of moose in New England. You'll have a better chance over there.

Yeah. I was enlightened to see the new flag design isn't perfect (if that's even possible). But I think if anything is an excellent step forward to getting rid of the seal on a bed spread.
I'd love to see some gold on the flag. Why not?
