According to City Ordinance - ORD 2016-11 (http://www.ci.sunnyside.wa.us/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/1222
and
http://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Sunnyside/html/Sunnyside01/Sunnyside0113.html)
issued on October 10, 2016, explains the following:
Sections:
1.13.010
Official flag established.
"The official flag of the City of Sunnyside shall
be a banner of light blue on the top fading to dark blue on the bottom. The flag
shall have a circular image in its center depicting Sunnyside’s agricultural
diversity. The image shall be that which was created by artist Kathleen Rogers
in 2015. The words “City of Sunnyside Washington EST. 1902” shall be inscribed
around the circumference of image. [Ord.2016-11 § 1, 2016.]"
The symbols
displayed are based on the sun shining (hence the city's name) and a cornucopia
of fruits to commemorate its agricultural heritage. The organization in charge
of this was the Sunnyside Arts Commission.
