Washington State Motto"Al-ki" or "Alki"The Washington state motto "Al-ki" or "Alki" is Native American (Chinook) and in English it means "Bye and Bye" or "Hope for the Future". The story about the Washington state motto goes something along the line of settlers from the schooner "Exact" naming their new settlement on Alki Point "New York". However, this settlement was slower in growth than that on the East coast, which subsequently led to the name change "New York-Alki" (New York, Bye and Bye) Washington does not have an official state motto that has been adopted by Legislature.
