Patriotic red, white and blue are certainly good, as are the League’s hues of gold and purple. 

But looking for a fashionable change of pace, the Skagit County League is going grape! Along with a throw-back to the ‘60s! 

The front of LWV Skagit County’s new long-sleeve t-shirt proclaims the League mission while featuring a drawing of a dove clasping an olive branch as it hoovers over a pair of daisies. 

“The hippie in me just came out,” said League President Jane Vilders of Mount Vernon, who recently unveiled the new look. “We just wanted something different.” 

The owner of a local print shop produced the design free of charge, Vilders said. The back features the Skagit League name. 

For a dressier look, Skagit members turned to another graphic designer in Mount Vernon.  Shop owner and artist Kristin Loffer Theiss created a 26-inch square scarf that the Skagit League will sell for $26 at state Council in the spring. 

Featuring red poppy-like flowers at the center and outward, the soft cotton scarf proclaims: “Stand up for what you believe in.”
