Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Seal of Washington" in English language version.
Al-ki or Alki is a Native American word meaning 'bye and bye.' This motto first appeared on the territorial seal designed by Lieutenant. J.K. Duncan of Governor Steven's surveying expedition. On one side it pictures a log cabin in forest; on the other side, a city in the background; the Goddess of Hope and an anchor is in the center. The goddess points at the word 'Alki.'
