Tech Tip: New online request form for King County Archives
The Archives just rolled out a new form on its home page to facilitate efficient response to requests for King County recordings held in the collection. Not only is the form easy to use, but it is designed to ensure that requestors provide sufficient information required to locate needed documents. The new form, combined with a recently implemented online-payment option, greatly improves customer service by streamlining transactions and by allowing clients to conduct business with the Archives from any location and at any time of day.

2017 brings a bond rating boost, lower costs for vital infrastructure
Crossposted from Clean Water Stories
Operating a regional wastewater utility requires more than a dedicated workforce and highly specialized equipment. It also takes money, especially when it comes to funding new facilities to make sure our system keeps pace with population growth.
Just like you might borrow money to invest in a new home, or remodel a kitchen, we borrow money to build new facilities, or to upgrade or expand our system, by issuing bonds.

Visualizing King County: Timber cruise reports from 1907-08
Crossposted from Bytes and Boxes
New online! The King County Archives recently completed a project to image and rehouse 45 volumes of Assessor’s timber cruise reports dating from 1907-08. Valued by researchers for their detail and accuracy, the reports are a unique resource for this time period in King County. We are thrilled to make high-quality copies of these records easily accessible through our public search site.
The imaged reports document natural topography like ridges, swamps, and waterways; vegetation and soil types; human impacts such as areas that have been burned or logged; and the built environment, including trails, houses, farms, roads, mines, mills, and railroads.

Filing project streamlines record keeping and recruits new employees
Crossposted from Clean Water Stories
The file room on site was bulging. The file cabinets overflowed. Folders lived on top of the cabinets with arrows and sticky notes pointing to them. People complained about papercuts. Off-site, decades of active and inactive files were stored together chronologically, making it difficult to respond to requests for records about specific facilities and to remove outdated files from closed facilities. Something had to change.
The Industrial Waste Program works with industries to prevent pollution. And they take record-keeping seriously. Some of their active files date back to the 1960’s. As long as a facility is in business, its Industrial Waste Program files are still active and must be kept. Even after a business closes, Industrial Waste must keep the inactive records for a certain period of time.
