The ballot measure to allow same-sex couples in Washington to get married was approved by voters, and the law went into effect Dec. 6, 2012. The first same-sex marriages in the state took place three days later.

The first same-sex marriages in Washington happened Dec. 9, 2012 — nearly five years ago. As part of a story detailing this anniversary, reporter Patty Hastings is seeking engagement and/or wedding photos from same-gender couples living in Clark County. The photos will go in an online gallery. Email photos to patty.hastings@columbian.com and include a caption that explains what’s happening and identifies who is in the photos. She is also interested in interviewing local married couples who have started families.
