1 In 5 Washington Nuptials Same Sex

About one Washington state wedding in five between early December and the end of March involved a same-sex couple, state figures show. The state Department of Health said nearly 2,500 same-sex couples were married in Washington between Dec. 6, when a voter approved law took effect, and March 31. That’s about 20 percent of the 11,661 marriages performed and reported to county officials. More than half of them took place in King County, the state’s most populous. Spokane County recorded 504 couples married during that period, with 88 or 17.5 percent of them for same sex couples, the department said/ Jim Camden , Spin Control. More here.
