When asked what makes Washington State unique, the resounding response was that the west coast was vastly different than the east. So, we have one sock for each side of Washington. For the west coast, we have evergreen forests with a nod to the much-loved salmon. The east side holds many, many farms, with everything from wheat to legumes to peaches and cherries. The east side sock uses a cherry blossom pattern to represent their abundant agriculture.
