The flag was designed by architect David Wright and endorsed by Seattle City Councilmember Paul Kraabel.[3] It was adopted on July 16, 1990, for use during the Goodwill Games.[2][4][5]
The flag has been criticized for breaking conventional rules for good flag design, particularly its complex design that incorporates the city seal.[6]
Proposals to redesign the flag were solicited in 2019 by The Seattle Times and The Stranger, with the latter running a public poll.[7][8]
