There is a list of codes associated with the Washington Death Index, which indicates deaths that occurred outside Washington State, but included in the State Death Index. This list does not show any "500" code numbers. All the States in the U.S. are coded with "800" numbers. I found a death with a code of 838, which was Oregon. This list also has a short list of other country codes, which are all "900" numbers. 971 Guam 972 Puerto Rico 973 Virgin Islands 981 Canada 982 Cuba 983 Mexico 989 Other Foreign 999 Unknown/Not Stated If there is another list showing "500" codes, if would be helpful to have it available.
