Ms. Jodoin: The Seattle Public Library owns both the index compiled by the South King County Genealogical Society and the microfilm of the actual records. The SCKGS donated the microfilm to the Library after they completed the indexing project. The book, "King County Washington Deaths 1891-1907", is shelved in the Seattle Room under the call number: R929.37977/K589. Please be aware that the pre-1907 records are very incomplete. Darlene E.
