Support Washington apples, and make a difference in local communities! Proceeds help support the Washington Apple Education Fund scholarships.
The Washington apple specialty license plate recognizes the rich history of our state’s apple industry, the dedicated growers, and the renowned reputation of Washington apples worldwide.
Proceeds support WAEF scholarships for children of farmworkers, warehouse employees, growers, and others with ties to the tree fruit industry. License plates are sold through the Washington State Department of Licensing.
