Counties

Our research is progressing but it will be months before we can provide information on the racial restrictive covenants for most counties. Here we show preliminary results for the five Puget Sound counties where we have identified about 40,000 restricted properties in hundreds of neighborhoods. We will display additional data as it becomes available. And please note, what is posted here will change as our confirmation process continues.
