HR 4662
Honors Pierce County's Daffodil Festival on its 91st anniversary, commending organizers and the 24-member 2024 royal court for civic service; a ceremonial WA House resolution.
Status: Adopted
Classification: House resolution (ceremonial)
Primary sponsor (as listed): Representative Laura Friedman (with multiple cosponsors)
Jurisdiction: Washington State House (Pierce County Daffodil Festival)
Introduced / Action dates (as provided): introduced 02/02/2024 and adopted (record also shows related entries in 2025)
Note on source material: The provided packet includes several distinct texts (a Washington State House resolution honoring the Daffodil Festival, a separate Washington procedural resolution about interim House operations, and a federal-style provision naming a post office). This summary focuses on the resolution titled “Honoring the Daffodil Festival,” which is the central subject of H.R. 4662 as described.
Purpose and intent
- To officially recognize and honor the Daffodil Festival of Pierce County on its 91st anniversary and to commend the festival’s organizers and the 2024 Daffodil Festival royal court for their civic contributions, community service, and role-model service to youth.
Key provisions
- Recognizes the Daffodil Festival as a longstanding Pierce County tradition (originating in the 1920s) that promotes community unity and civic engagement.
- Commends the festival’s organizers and specifically acknowledges the 24 young women selected to the 2024 Daffodil Festival royal court for representing their schools and communities through ambassadorship and volunteerism.
- Directs that copies of the resolution be transmitted by the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives to the 2024 Daffodil Festival officers and to each of the 24 members of the 2024 royal court.
Named royal court members (2024)
- Addie Fowler (Bonney Lake HS), Addison Muse (Stadium HS), Addison Ogden (Emerald Ridge HS), Alejandra Gonzalez (Puyallup HS), Amanda Peterson (Lincoln HS), Chai Hill (Clover Park HS), Faletele Moliga (Mount Tacoma HS), Hannah Zaragoza (Eatonville HS), Kaylie Dickerson (Graham‑Kapowsin HS), Kemoni Brouillard (Washington HS), Kendra Hemmen (White River HS), Khushi Verma (Spanaway Lake HS), Leilani Campos‑Ramos (Harrison Preparatory), Lillian Bagley (Franklin Pierce HS), Lillian Ecklund (Curtis HS), Maria Cortez (Foss HS), Mikayla Jeffries (Orting HS), Olivia Ballard (Fife HS), Patricia Page (Lakes HS), Rejae Williams (Rogers HS), Shelby‑Lynn Jaconson‑Harkin (Bethel HS), Siana Farina (Silas HS), Taiah Mitchell (Chief Leschi Schools), Zoë Roberts (Sumner HS).
Who is affected
- Primarily ceremonial: festival organizers, participants, the named royal court members, and the Pierce County community. The resolution is a formal recognition by the Washington State House and does not create new legal rights, duties, or funding.
Procedural / legal impact
- This is a nonbinding, commemorative House resolution intended to acknowledge and celebrate a community event. It does not change law, appropriate funds, or impose regulatory requirements.
- The resolution instructs the Chief Clerk to transmit copies to the festival officers and royal court members.
Observations on record inconsistencies
- The source material also contained unrelated texts (a federal post office naming and a separate Washington House interim-procedures resolution) and multiple dates of introduction/adoption across 2024–2025. Those appear to be separate measures or different versions and are not part of the Daffodil Festival recognition described above.
