Some states observe a state holiday and call it President's Day.
Florida recognizes today as Washington's Birthday by statute:

Chapter 683 Section 01 - 2020 Florida Statutes - The Florida Senate
see item g.

Also note that Florida recognizes the birthday of the Robert E Lee as a holiday as well as the birthday of Jefferson Davis, and Confederate Memorial Day.
