New Washington State License Plate
The Washington State non-profits Historic Whidbey and the Whidbey Island Maritime Heritage Foundation collaborated on a new style of License Plate available to Washington drivers. By commissioning new art from painter Robert Tandecki, these organizations are offering beautiful new plate while helping fundraise.
Historic Whidbey and the Whidbey Island Maritime Heritage Foundation started a petition to have the custom charitable License Plate added to the possibilities for Washington State residents.
Update: May 8, 2025: The bill passed the senate and the house and is now on the governor’s desk for his signature in the next few days. Big thanks to all who have helped with this project!
Where will the proceeds go?
Proceeds from the program will be evenly shared between the Whidbey Island Maritime Heritage Foundation and Historic Whidbey, both 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations. Funds support public heritage programming on board s/v Suva and at the 1866 Haller House in Coupeville.
