Each time you record a document in our office $10 remains with our office. That $10 is to be used solely for the purpose of preserving records. Right now those funds are being used to preserve the DD214 (military discharge) records. We hold 7 full volumes of these records which are being preserved, placed into protective covering, and bound into a disaster recovery binder. Below is the inside page dedication for each binder. I am really excited to see the finished product.
These records represent the people of Wash*ta County who sacrificed their time and family so that we may live as we do today. Effective November 1, 2026, grandchildren, in addition to the veteran, spouse, child or legal representative, will now be able to access these important military records. It is our honor to file these records at no cost. If you or your family member does not have your DD214 on record, it may be filed at any time in our office.
