On January 16, 1933 hundreds of people gathered on the State Capitol steps in Olympia for a "Hunger March" to demand food, shelter, relief and programs to create jobs for the unemployed throughout Washington State.
October is Washington Archives Month, and this year’s theme is Washington’s struggles and setbacks over the years and how the people of this state have overcome them.
