November 8th, 2010 - the centennial anniversary of women's suffrage in Washington - is fast approaching! In order to keep everyone up to speed on the upcoming celebration - or jubilation - we are writing a series of 19 blog posts with information about the suffrage movement in Washington. Do you have ancestors who were part of Washington's women's suffrage movement? Tell us your stories! The year was 1854. Arthur A. Denny, a member of the first Washington Territorial Legislature, introduced an amendment for women's suffrage to a pending voting bill.

Friends of the acclaimed Washington Talking Book and Braille Library will gather at the Seattle facility on Wednesday to celebrate the service receiving the best-in-the-country award from the Library of Congress. Danielle Miller, program manager, and Jan Walsh, State Librarian at the Office of Secretary of State, were in Washington, D.C., last week to receive the award and will headline the celebration at WTBBL headquarters (2021 9th Avenue in downtown Seattle) at 10 a.m.
