SGS Library Closed through May 4th
Due to Covid-19 outbreak in Seattle, the SGS Board has decided to close the SGS Library at 6200 Sand Point Way and to cancel all meetings and gatherings scheduled there until 4 May 2020. There is no known contamination, but this is a pro-active move to avoid possible person-to-person transmission of the virus. This action is being taken to help protect our members, guests and patrons.
A letter from our president to our members, friends and supporters detailing these actions can be read here. In it you will find ways to continue your research during this time period.
We certainly hope that you are safe and well. Our thanks go out to the scientists at the UW, Fred Hutch, the CDC and other institutions who are working overtime to tame this beast. In the meantime---flatten the curve!
And thank you for your support.

WA Attorney General Issues Ultimatum
Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson has issued an ultimatum to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regarding “fatal flaw[s]” in a decision last month to shutter the National Archives in Seattle, move the materials to California, and sell the World War II-era warehouse and 10-acre property to the highest bidder.
This year the Seattle Genealogical Society is commemorating the 100th anniversary of Women's Suffrage with a variety of programs and events.
