1. Here's one:

The Olympian
111 Bethel Street NE
Olympia, Washington 98506

TH LEE CHRISTIAN S M 111 BETHEL ST NE OLYMPIA 2004-NOV-02 1963-FEB-28 2003 P A

(I was surprised to find only one there.)

And he does work there, so it's probably not just a data entry error:

3. Wow, Dean Logan, you've got your work cut out for you. Those voting rolls are FAR from being cleaned up. Hop to it!

4. How does one get the full house number out of the database?

5. Airyx - the database masks the full house number intentionally (for purposes of confidentiallity).

6. Please remember folks that the Democrats in Washington have a far, far superior database to the Republicans. They have virtually pre-polled the entire State....precindt by precindt....and move Heaven & Earth to get their base out. They have the ground troops. The Republicans, for the most part, are lazy and built their pathetic database hiring outside phone-polling firms to build their lists. The Republican lists are pathetic.
What would you rather have to work? A refined list that includes door-to-door validation.....or a list developed primarily by phone calls? I have worked Republican State lists. They are ridiculous and frustrating. I won't do it anymore.
The Democrats do not want voter information to become more accessible because they already have the data they need. They are successful, in part, because the Republicans are unfocused and lazy.
Republicans will take back Washington when they start going door-to-door and vastly improve the database.....then follow through call their base and making sure they all vote! It's not that complicated...it just takes organization and ground troops. Too much to ask. Until the Republicans improve their Statewide database, get ground troops and follow-thru as aggressively as the Democrats... they will be losers.

7. alphabet soup - I understand and if I search for the first address I get 231e Eastlake Ave E. If you click on the link in Stefans post, you get 2312, the complete address. I was just wondering if there is more to the database. I can go into the King County Parcel Viewer and get such information but if there is a quicker way.... Thanks!

8. I don't think so.

If you search on a complete address and there is a registered voter listed at that address, you get the complete address fed back to you. If you search for names or variations (incomplete) of an address, you get a truncated result.
