List of Washington state symbols
While some of the symbols are unique to Washington, others are used by multiple states. For example, the willow goldfinch (also known as the American goldfinch), Washington's state bird, is also an official symbol for Iowa and New Jersey. Washington's state grass, bluebunch wheatgrass, is also a symbol for the state of Montana. The square dance and apple are commonly used state dances and state foods, respectively. While most states have an official motto and nickname, Washington's motto ("Al-ki", meaning "by and by" in Chinook Jargon) and nickname ("The Evergreen State") have never been officially adopted by the Legislature.
List of U.S. state reptiles
Neither of the noncontiguous states, Alaska and Hawaii, have named a state reptile. The District of Columbia lacks a "state" reptile although it does have an official tree and flower (its only animal symbol is a bird). None of the organized territories of the United States have state reptiles, although all four have designated official flowers.
