United States of America - Washington

In my World envelope collection I do not just want to have envelopes from stamp-issuing countries and territories, but also from other regions. This includes the 50 states of the United States of America. This envelope comes from the state of Washington, lying in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It was the 42nd state, admitted in 1889.

The stamps were affixed by me and come from the Flags of our nations and Greetings series, a stamp commemorating the 100th anniversary of statehood and the Washington stamp from the 1981 State Bird & Flower series. I sent the envelope to the post office in the capital Olympia to be postmarked. The envelope arrived back with three nice postmarks from USPS Olympia main post office.
