Drawn on quarters

Look what showed up on Friday's Olympian:



Excuse me, state outline? What are we, fucking Ohio? Pennsylvania?* We are Washington State, and we have a huge fucking mountain. Let's just make friends with the inevitable, okay guys?

Although I must say, that killer whale design is actually very, very nice. Stylish, clean, beautiful, and incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't lived here. My vote may be a hard one.

EDIT: You know where every vote for the state outline design is going to come from? Eastern Washington.

* I was going to say Nebraska, but I luckily caught myself: one, Nebraska hasn't come up yet, and two, their design kicks some serious ass.

Damn, Nebraska's is good.

My thoughts track your exactly. State outlines are dumb. I really like the mountain/Salmon, it's very pretty. The Orca isn't as cool as I wanted...I wanted one of the styles that is all chock-full of smaller designs, with no empty space. But I know fuck-all about Indian art. I like the fact that it doesn't exist anywhere but here, though. I'm going to have the same tough vote.

Point of interest:
Members of the committee that picked these three were First Mike, Senator Lovick, and Eva Locke, Gary's 4 or 9 year old daughter. Badass.

Also, it turns out that my design idea, having heads on both sides, was pre-vetoed by the Federal Mint and was never even an option. Think about it: heads on both sides... It would have been glorious!

You get to VOTE for your state's quarter? Bastards. I'm pretty sure Virginians didn't.
