Secretary of State’s office has unveiled a new, online version of Simply Washington, a fun and colorful 56-page booklet that highlights and explains many aspects of our great state. People can access the online version on our homepage (http://www.sos.wa.gov/) or here:  http://1.usa.gov/1Bve4n5 .

Like its predecessor, this online book focuses on many facets of Washington, from our history going back to pre-territorial days, to profiles on key figures in our state government, the basics of voting, and how laws are passed. We also have fun sections on our internationally renowned companies, agricultural and tech industries, plus sports, arts and entertainment, outdoor recreation and much more.

The new Simply Washington edition was designed and produced by Janet Lee, a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Design, who volunteered her time and talent to create this wonderful new book.

Simply Washington is a great civics resources for students, WA residents and out-of-state visitors. All of the information is in the public domain, so it’s available for people to use as they wish. It can be printed out directly from our homepage.

We will be fundraising to produce a print version for schools.
