One of the highlights of the legislative session is when the Wenatchee area’s Apple Blossom Royal Court comes across the Cascades for its annual visit to Olympia. That was the case Monday as the 2012 Apple Blossom Royalty stopped by the Secretary of State’s Executive Office in the Legislative Building. During their stopover, Princesses Hayley Brown (left) and Devyn Huylar watched as Apple Blossom Queen Samantha Allen (right) got some hands-on experience operating our official State Seal in Secretary Reed’s office.

This year’s State Apple Blossom Festival is April 26 to May 6 in Wenatchee.
