I can't remember seeing the Washington quarter. Maybe it hasn't made its way down here yet.

What is "Alki"?

The quarter just started minting earlier this month.

"Alki" is a Chinook word, meaning, approximately, "By and by", with a connotation of, "What's the rush?" It was first proposed as a state motto by some of the settlers of Seattle, who thought that one, day, alki, Seattle would become "the New York of the Northwest". Sadly, I'm starting to think they were right...
