City and metro context
Where records in Washington come from
Most records published in Washington come from its largest metro areas, listed below. That matters for a namesake: a match found in one of them is not the person you are looking at here unless the fields around the name agree.
- Seattle4.02M · 52% of the state
- Spokane592K · 7.6% of the state
- Portland523K · 6.8% of the state
- Kennewick308K · 4% of the state
- Olympia297K · 3.8% of the state
Use the metro list as location context, not as proof of residence: a matching city still needs another independent anchor before records belong together.
Population figures are American Community Survey five-year estimates for the part of each metro area inside Washington.
They describe the region, not a count of records or people held by Recordwell.

Narrowing a common name in Vancouver, WA
Add the neighbourhood, not just the city
An address narrows a common name faster than “Vancouver, WA” alone.
