Marriage Equality in King County
On Dec. 6, 2012, hundreds of couples lined up at the King County Recorder’s Office when the state's new law allowing same-sex couples to marry went into effect at 12:01 a.m. This was their day. More recent stories appear first.

The couple had a wedding ceremony in Georgetown this summer, and Amy decided to wear her veil to get the license. She took Jeri's last name via a court order. They will officially wed on Sunday after being a couple for the last five years. (Bettina Hansen / The Seattle Times) To view more photos, visit: http://seati.ms/R9HsfL
