King County is the most populous county in Washington State. Seattle, the county seat, holds 1/3 of King County's population and is the largest city in the county and the state. When King County was established in 1862, it was named after William King, who was Vice President at the time. In 1986, the King County Council changed the commemoration to Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. King County is bordered by Snohomish County on the north, Chelan and Kittitas Counties on the east, and Pierce County on the south. To the west, Puget Sound, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean, separates King County from Kitsap County. Seattle is a major seaport, fueling its growth first as a timber town, then as a gateway to the Alaska Gold Rush. From sea level on the shores of Puget Sound, King County rises eastward to an elevation of 7,959 feet at Mount Daniel in the Cascade Range. King County is home to 35 cities and four towns. Large cities that are part of the Seattle metropolitan area include Bellevue and Kirkland to the east across Lake Washington from Seattle, and Renton and Federal Way to the south. Check out the categories below to find a multitude of public records and documents, including jail records, recorded documents, and birth records. [1]
