Design edit
The flag of Washington County, Pennsylvania consists of a light blue background with the county's seal in the middle. The seal consists of the county courthouse, a covered bridge, an Indian, and an early settler. This montage has the words "Historical Washington County" and "1781" inside a circle.
History edit
On October 7, 1977, Washington County Bicentennial Commission chairman Charles Chattaway and member Charlotte K. Lane showed a design for a county flag. The flag had been the general idea of Raymond E. Dunlevy. The design of that flag was the county seal in the upper left-hand corner without the circle and the words "Historical Washington County" in the color yellow. The seal is in a vertical purple rectangle that goes fully down the flag. That purple stripe takes up one-fourth of the flag. The rest of the flag has a sky blue stripe that goes along the full top of the flag and takes up almost half going down. Below that is a thin green line. Below that line is a thin sky-blue line. The rest of the flag going down is green. They did not end up using this flag. They used the one that is in use today.
Seal edit
The seal of Washington County consists of the county courthouse, a covered bridge, an Indian, and an early settler.
