Although a badge for every state is a nice concept, I rather like the geographical badges better. They seem more helpful in understanding folks' posts to see what type of growing clime they come from. Most folks also seem to include their state and sometimes city in the area above the badges so for me the state badges are a bit of a redundancy. I do agree that Washington has two very distinct geographic regions divided by the Cascade Mountains, and one badge for WA would not be particularly illustrative of anything (in my opinion). The same is likely true for many other states. I'm happy with the Pacific NW badge, which to me symbolizes a temperate growing climate with plenty of rain. Eastern Washington, eastern Oregon, and Idaho could likely all share a badge of some sort - not exactly sure what would best symbolize it, although a prior suggestion of a pine cone/tree with icicle hit a note with me.
As an aside, I like the badges that are simple shapes against white, as opposed to the ones that are more like square photographs. Just me.
