House Bill 1020, which names the Suciasaurus rex as the state dinosaur, passed the state legislature Wednesday and now heads to Gov. Jay Inslee’s desk for his signature.
HB 1067 got close to passing in 2021, after getting moved out of committee and placed in the Rules Committee. For the 2022 session, it retained in its previous status, but was sent back to the Rules Committee for consideration where it went extinct.
While very few dinosaurs are found in Washington state due to the high proximity to an active tectonic plate boundary and the high degree of human development, the Suciasaurus was the only dinosaur to be found in the state.
