I am aware that the Washington Death Index begins in 1907. Indeed, I recall that a search for my ggf was frustrated by the fact that he died just a few months before the index began. There was discussion a while back about "the South King County Genealogical Society and not the Seattle Genealogical Society indexed the pre-1907 King County Deaths." Is this only available at the South King Co. GS, or is there a copy at the Seattle Public Library or....? I live in Seattle, but find it hard to commute to any but the nearby archives. M.J.
