“That’s Washington State—but it’s upside down.”
And if the owner smiles, there’s a good chance they know exactly why.
A Tiny Sticker With a Bigger Story
It is fascinating how much meaning people can attach to something so small.
The decal in the photograph is only a simple white silhouette.
There are no words.
No explanation.
No obvious logo.
Yet it can represent an entire place.
For one person, it may mean home.
For another, it may mean humor.
For another, it may simply be a cool design.
For someone who has moved away, it may represent the feeling of carrying a piece of home wherever life takes them.
And for Grandpa?
It was simply a mystery that needed solving.
The good news is that the mystery has a pretty fun answer.
That strange white shape appears to be an upside-down outline of Washington State.
It is not necessarily a warning, secret code or obscure vehicle symbol.
