What is the nickname of Washington?

Answer:

The Evergreen State

Why this is the correct answer

Washington earned the nickname "The Evergreen State" because of the dense coniferous forests of Douglas firs, western red cedars, and other evergreen trees that cover much of the state. This lush, year-round greenery defines the landscape of western Washington in particular and has shaped the state's identity and economy through timber and outdoor recreation.
