Olympia Capital • “The Evergreen State”
Statehood (42nd) on November 11, 1889
The State of Washington, is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the Western United States. Named for George Washington—the first U.S. president—the state was formed from the western part of the Washington Territory in 1846.
The state is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, Oregon to the south, Idaho to the east, and the Canadian province of British Columbia to the north.
Washington is a leading lumber producer; its rugged surface is rich in stands of Douglas fir, hemlock, ponderosa pine, white pine, spruce, larch, and cedar.
The state is the largest producer of apples, hops, pears, blueberries, spearmint oil, and sweet cherries in the U.S., and ranks high in the production of apricots, asparagus, dry edible peas, grapes, lentils, peppermint oil, and potatoes.
Livestock, livestock products, and commercial fishing particularly of salmon, halibut, and bottomfish are also significant contributors to the state’s economy. Washington ranks second only to California in wine production.
Local Washington State entrepreneurs have created business opportunities in the area. With the help of local business leaders, the demand for startup ventures and the need for more goods and services has ignited the spirit of ownership in the State of Washington community.
Looking to the future with confidence, Washington encourages its residents to become inventors and creators of startups in retail, music, printing, beauty, healthcare, legal, medical support, media, information technology (IT), and education technology to help Washington State’s local business communities to grow.
