Actually, there was one earlier, also a 500 code. That one meant it was an out-of-country death reported to the state by the U.S. State Department. I don't know which country, though. I'd suggest finding where the person lived in Washington State, getting the obituary, confirming it's the correct person that way, and then getting the death certificate. Getting the DC directly from the LDS FHC is also a good way.
