Bet you've searched online newspapers at the several websites offering such. But did you know that there is a website devoted to our very own state newspapers?? Here's the fine print in the image: Washington Digital Newspapers brings together over 600,000 pages from Washington's earliest Territorial newspapers to the present day, freely accessible to the public. And this collection continues to expand! Clicking to the website, you can search by title, by date or by subject.
When I first learned of this resource back in February 2025, I did a search for the surname PHILLIPS, 1900-1960, and got 43,186 hits! For the surname OSWALD, 3996 hits! For Fort George Wright, 12, 690 hits!
If you have ancestors, direct line or collateral, and they lived and worked in the Evergreen State, do check out this resource.
Remember I've taught you always: If it's free, take two! :-)
