About Us· history & ArtifactsOn this page you can take a look back in the
State Patrol's history, beginning in 1921 when six troopers first
kick started their Indian motorcycles, and read our stories of
days gone by as told
by retirees who lived them. The artifacts are overseen by an Advisory Board of volunteers from within and outside of the agency. The items are refurbished and maintained exclusively through donations from the public, and the Patrol encourages donations of money or historical items. If you want to donate money, please indicate that the donation is for the Washington State Patrol Historical Artifacts Inventory Fund and send your check, cashier's check, or money orders to: Washington State Patrol If you want to donate an artifact or item of historical value to the Washington State Patrol, please send the item to: Washington State Patrol
Supply Section Items sent to the Supply Section need to be marked "For Historical Preservation," so we may properly receive and record them. Information describing the item (for example, how and where it was used, who used it, from what era, etc.) would be greatly appreciated.
