Question: Which state has a signed governor’s proclamation naming a “state monster”?

Answer: In 1970, Gov. Dan Evans of Washington signed a proclamation naming “The Great Sasquatch” as the state’s one and only “state monster.” Evans even affixed a lock of the legendary monster’s supposed hair to the document. However, it was never actually approved by the legislature, though bills to make it official are introduced periodically.
