Marriages recorded from 1878
Washington Marriages prior to 1938 had both a license and a separate document called a "Return". The
Return was filled out at the time of the wedding and sent back to the courthouse.
It gives the actual date of marriage, place, witnesses and often listed birth dates and
parent's names.
If your marriage was before 1938, ask for both items.
Beginning in 1938, marriages were recorded on a single document.
Also, keep in mind that
marriage licenses issued by any Washington county was valid for a marriage performed in
any other county in the state.
Beginning in July of 1907, the State of Washington began keeping BIRTH and DEATH records, and
in 1968, MARRIAGE and DIVORCE records.
