The following teaser is from an AP article posted March 4, 2014 at oregonlive.com:
OLYMPIA, Wash. …Washington is running out of space to store its history. The three-floor repository filled up in 2005, forcing archival documents to be shelved in the State Records Center warehouse in Tumwater.
Agencies send thousands of boxes of records there for keeping until they can be legally destroyed. As a result, each new box of historic materials generated by the Inslee administration forces a box of older keepsakes from preceding executives, state leaders, Supreme Court justices and others to be shifted around in the 47,000-square-foot building, or shipped out.
