Washington’s live Alaskan Malamute mascots have often had regal names that match the husky breed’s strength and stature, as well as their symbolism as winter dogs. After Frosty I and II, and Wasky I and II (a portmanteau of “Washington” and “husky”), Denali debuted in 1958. Our favorite mascot, though, is the friendly King Chinook of the 1960s, who once interrupted a football game to make best friends with the players on the field.
