Last month's challenge was a tribute to the late Washington State Sen. Mark Doumit, who found great success as a legislator and as executive director of the Washington Forest Protection Association. He made a career out of his passion for preserving forestry and the environment.

The photo shows Rainbow Falls in Rainbow Falls State Park, which lies in Sen. Doumit's former legislative district.
Part of the overview series about Washington State Archives, this video talks about the Archives' regional branches, what they hold, and why their holdings are preserved at the regional instead of state level.

There will be future videos that go into more detail about Archives' numerous departments, such as Washington State Archives' Digital Archives (DA), the research team, digital projects, and more.

Last month's quote was from Yellow Bird, the Walla Walla leader.
