Gloria, thanks for the advice. Search in different states, and get different results. I just hoped someone would help me navigate the Washington state system. I have used the Washington digital archive system, but that didn't cover this 1902 death, which I was researching for an older gentleman in Missouri. So, now we know.

Maybe I'll check back in San Francisco to see if he was buried in a cemetery back home. No paper trail, but it's possible.
I appreciate all the help from everyone.
