There is a new feature on the Secretary of State’s website. History Makers is a biographical database of Washington elected officials and activists from territorial times to present. Each individual’s entry includes a photograph, links, and basic biographical information, for example, occupations, offices, affiliations, birth and death dates, and marriage information.

To date: Governors, Lieutenant Governors, Secretaries of States, Treasurers, U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives are included. This resource is made possible by dedicated volunteers and will continue to be updated. Please visit History Makers at the Legacy Project webpage: http://sos.wa.gov/legacyproject/HistoryMakers.aspx
