    1. Re: King county coroner's records for 1929?
    2. The scene of the accident would be on Broadway between Union and Pike (Union and Pike are parallel). Who was the death certificate signed by? Sometimes they are signed by a coroner and sometimes by a medical examiner. If it's signed by the coroner, then at least you know who he is. I'd bet if those records still exist, they're at the county clerk's office. Groan. But since it was a hit and run and she died because of it, it should have been investigated by the police as a vehicular homicide. They may not have done much with the investigation, if they couldn't find the driver, but there should be information in the file. That's if the file still exists. But that's another avenue to pursue. You might even google Seattle Coroner's Office and also check the website for the Seattle Police Department to see how far back records go for each.

And, if so, who would I contact? My Grandmother, Hulda (Helen) Nordgren MOLINE died 23 Sept 1929 as the result of a hit and run accident. The accident was near (between?) Union and Pike Streets on Broadway. (Basiler skull fracture. Subdural hemmorage. Victim of a hit and run accident. Died at 8:50 PM) I have her death certificate, but I would like to know what the coroner's report said. Any advice would be most appreciated.
