The coronation night of Miss Washington USA 2022 was held on Saturday, 5th February 2022 at Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center where contestants from several counties competed for the regional crown and an opportunity to represent Washington at the national pageant later this year. At the end of the event finale, Mazzy Eckel who represented Capitol Hill was crowned Miss Washington USA 2022. She succeeded Miss Washington USA 2021 Christine Brodie for the title.

Mazzy Eckel works as a yoga instructor for The Genesis Project, an initiative offering hope for a new life to survivors of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, as the diva advocates against human sex trafficking. Aside from pursuing a career as a model, Eckel devotes her time as a host on ‘Pursuing Leadership’, an Instagram live series that highlights people who are leaders in their fields and communities where new episodes release bi-weekly.

 

 

“Congratulations to Mazzy, you’re going to Miss USA,” congratulated the outgoing queen Christine Brodie. The Top 8 for the evening included Karley Kearney, Madison Damour, Maggie Hylton Laughlin, Jesi Williams, Celeste Amadon, Starla Sampaco, Taylor Mann and Mazzy Eckel.

Mazzy took to her social media to express her gratitude after she won the title. She wrote, “Last night, I was crowned Miss Washington USA, a title 7 years in the making. Even as I am writing this it still doesn’t feel completely real. I’ve visualized and dreamt of the moment I would hear my name called last for years. How it would feel to stand up there holding my fellow contestant’s hands and praying that it was me.”

The next 9 months of my life are going to be incredible, life-changing, and most of all wildly beautiful.
