The National Archives at Seattle
- Archival Research Room
- Microfilm Research Room
- Public Access Computers
Our diverse records are of general historical interest and genealogical. The Seattle facility also serves as a Records Center, storing records from Federal agencies and courts in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, and available for agency retrieval as needed. Our Records Management staff provides assistance to Federal Government agencies.
The records relocated to the National Archives at Seattle as a result of the closure of our Anchorage facility, are now available for research. We ask that you contact us in advance prior to your visit ( seattle.archives@nara.gov or 206-336-5115) so we might better serve your research needs.
