The Seattle Flag is white and has the Seattle City logo (a picture of the Seattle president surrounded by two lines), with the words “City of Goodwill” above it and “Seattle” below.
The flag was designed by architect David Wright and approved by Seattle City Councilmember Paul Cranwell. Approved July 16, 1990, for use during Goodwill Games.
The flag has been criticized for violating traditional rules for good flag design, especially its intricate design, which contains the city’s seal.
Flag redesign proposals for 2019 were submitted by the Seattle Times and Strangers, and a public opinion poll was conducted.

History
Archaeological excavations have shown that Native Americans have lived in Seattle for at least 4,000 years. With the arrival of the first European settlers, the people (later called the Duwamish tribe) occupied at least seventeen villages in the area around Elliott Bay.
The first European to visit the Seattle area was George Vancouver in May 1792 during his voyage 1795-1951 to map the Pacific Northwest.
In 1851, a large party of American pioneers led by Luther Collins established a place on the banks of the Duvamish River. They formally claimed on September 14, 1851.
Thirteen days later, members of the Collins Party passed three Danny Party vanguards in their claim. Members of the Danny Party claimed on September 28, 1851, in the Alki Point area.
The rest of Danny’s party left Portland, Oregon, and landed on Alki Point in a rainstorm on November 13, 1851.
Economy
Seattle’s economy is driven by a mix of old industrial companies and Internet companies and technology, services, design, and clean technologies of the “new economy”.
The city’s metropolitan area (GMP) gross domestic product was $ 231 billion in 2010, making it the 11th largest metropolitan economy in the United States.
Seattle Port, which also operates Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, is a major gateway to trade with Asia and cruises to Alaska. It is also the eighth largest port in the United States in terms of container capacity. Its shipping operations merged with Tacoma Port in 2015 to form the Northwest Port Union.
Although affected by the Great Recession, Seattle has maintained a relatively strong economy, and for start-ups, especially in green buildings and clean technologies.
In February 2010, the Seattle government pledged to become the first “climate-neutral” city in North America, with the goal of achieving zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
Culture
From 1869 to 1982, Seattle was known as “Queen City”. Seattle’s official nickname is “Emerald City”, the result of a 1981 race.
The reference is the evergreen and lush forests of the region. Seattle also referred to unofficially as the “Alaska Gate” because of the nearest major city in the US neighborhood to Alaska, the “Rain City” due to frequent cloudy and rainy weather, and the “Jet City” due to Boeing’s local influence.
The city has two slogans or official slogans: “The City of Flowers”, to encourage the planting of flowers to beautify the city, and “The City of Goodwill”, which approved before the 1990 Goodwill Games. Seattle residents are known as Seattle.
