The Washington State Patrol is seeking information about the theft of a historical marker from the Capitol campus in Olympia during the week of May 11.

The marker was placed on the west campus in 1924 by the Daughters of the American Revolution. It marked the homesite of Washington’s first governor, Isaac Stevens.

Someone pried the metal plaque off the boulder and took it. Anyone with any information as to the location of the plaque or who is responsible for the vandalism and theft is asked to contact WSP Trooper Nick Casto at 360-596-3990.
