The field of Olympia’s flag is white. In the hoist half is the
city’s ovoid logo, about 1 unit high and 1.5 units wide on a field of 2:3
units. The logo is divided more or less in half horizontally. The upper
half shows Washington’s state capitol toward the fly against snow-capped
mountains in the background toward the hoist. A blue sky fills in the
top of the logo behind the mountain peak and capitol dome. A chartreuse
sward runs from the capitol to the hoist in front of the mountains.
Across the center of the logo in front of the capitol is a swath of
bluish green suggesting the capitol grounds. Below, in the remainder of
the logo, is a section depicting water in two shades of blue—across an
azure blue field, two pairs of dark blue parallel lines, one near the top
and the other near the bottom, running horizontally to suggest ripples
on the water. On the fly half of the field is centered City of over OLYMPIA,
in slightly larger letters, all in dark blue.
