October is Archives Month!

The Washington State Archives is celebrating Archives Month! This year’s theme is Washington’s Historical Bridges.

In honor of Archives Month, King County Archives has created a new online exhibit titled “The Bridges of King County Through the Lens of T.P. Blum, 1931-1934”. Blum, the County Bridge Engineer, took photographs of many bridges throughout King County as part of his work, and did so with an artist’s eye.
