Episode Details

Washington drivers can now proudly display their state pride with new specialty plates featuring artwork from Don Clark, honoring Mount St. Helens. The initiative, sparked by a 2019 online petition, aimed to launch plates ahead of the 40th anniversary of the 1980 eruption. The first batch auctioned for over $35,000, all going directly to the Mount St. Helens Institute to fund youth education, trail restoration, and ongoing science projects tracking the mountain’s recovery. After delays due to readability concerns, the plates are now available for purchase—$28 of each initial fee and renewal goes to the institute. Applications can be submitted via the Department of Licensing website, with full availability expected by mid-August or early September. It’s not just a cool design—it’s a direct way to support one of the region’s most iconic natural landmarks.
