"Approved a measure declaring the Walla Walla sweet onion the official state vegetable. The measure was developed as part of a Kirkland junior high school teacher's lessons on state government, and passed the House 95-1. Rep. Mike Sells, D-Everett, cast the only dissenting vote. Sells said the "no" was an early Valentine's Day present to his wife, Gayle, who was in attendance and can't stand the scent of onions."
