Washington State Square Dancer License Plate

Program Coordinator - Gailyn Ploeg

The original idea for a Washington State Square Dance License Plate started with Beth & Roger Barnes at the National Square Dance Convention in Salt Lake City , Utah in June of 1991. The state of Washington was the 4th state to issue Square Dancer License Plates, behind Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Tennessee. By action of the State legislature, after more than a year of effort and negotiation by representatives of the State Square Dance Federation, the State Department of Transportation issued the above license plates effective July, 1993. Oklahoma followed two months later and there are now nine states with Square Dancer License Plates.

FLY YOUR COLORS

LET THE WORLD KNOW YOU ARE A SQUARE DANCER

To become a proud owner of a SPECIAL SQUARE DANCER LICENSE PLATE all you have to do is take your vehicle registration or license "Renewal Notice" to your local friendly Department of Vehicle Licensing Agency. Tell them you are a Square Dancer and you want the special Square Dancer License Plate.

They will take your $40 and issue you a number from Olympia. This is your number to keep FOREVER if you wish. The plates may be transferred from car to car, or rolled over every seven years for a small transfer/rollover  fee.

They are better than Vanity Plates because it does not cost you anything additional each year to keep them. It is a one-time-only fee.

Do it today and join the ranks of proud Square Dancers who

FLY THEIR COLORS!
