Come to Booth 134 in the Arch Building to learn more about how the SOS’s office supports Washingtonians through libraries, corporations and charities, civic engagement and elections, preservation of state history and artifacts in the State Archives, and statewide programs like the Address Confidentiality Program, Productivity Board, and Combined Fund Drive.
