"The Washington State Society is among the youngest of the State
organizations, having perfected its organization in 1895.
Largely through the efforts of Colonel, now General, Thomas M.
Anderson, U. S. A., and for many years Vice President-General of
the National Society, there was organized in the city of
Portland, Ore., June 6, 1891, the Oregon and Washington Society
of the Sons of the American Revolution, with about twenty
members. The first chapter in Washington was organized in Spokane by Colonel J. Kennedy Stout and others February 1, 1894, and on September 25, 1894, at the suggestion of Compatriot Arthur S. Gibbs, of Seattle, the organization of Seattle Chapter No. 2 was perfected, while Alexander Hamilton Chapter No. 3 was formed at Tacoma, October 9, 1895, by Compatriots Arthur Newton Thompson and Benjamin L. Harvey." The first State President was a Civil War Veteran and
grandson of a Patriot,
Col Simon W. Scott.
