June's Featured Resource is the Washington Digital Archives. It is a great resource, containing many useful, and some surprising records. Among the obvious are vital records: Birth, Marriage, Death, and Divorce; as well as Land Records Some categories contain more records than others, while some counties are more prevalent. 

 

Other records include School District Registers and Censuses, Frontier Justice: Territorial Court Case Files, and Miscellaneous Family History. There are even Oral Histories, Photographs, and Scrapbooks.

 

Take some time to explore all the offerings — you never know what you might find!
