Marbles?! YES! I always wanted to learn how to play those. Sadly, marbles aren’t exactly hot in an era of sophisticated online games. Still, you may be thrilled to find out that there is still a group of dedicated marble sharks who compete each year. Perhaps we can get a Washington representative at nationals this year? Anyone?

Why so much talk about fun and games? Because it’s Archives Month, and we’re celebrating how Washington has entertained itself all these years.

 State Archives is giving away limited supply of free posters to celebrate. You can download one, or pick up a poster in the Office of Secretary of State in Olympia, at the State Archives Building at1129 Washington St. SE in Olympia, or at various regional branches. While supplies last.
