Frederickson People Directory Coverage
Choose a directory by the role or time period being researched. Pierce County and Washington staff searches identify public contacts. School and university pages cover education. Recorded-document and assessor indexes act as directories of parties and property owners. License portals identify professional or business roles, while libraries and archives preserve past addresses, occupations, phone subscribers, teachers, graduates, and deceased residents.
| Directory | Who It Lists | Keeper | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pierce County Directory | Departments and named employees | Pierce County | Free search and category browse |
| Washington Employee Contacts | State employees | WA.gov | Free name and agency search |
| Bethel School District | District personnel | Bethel SD | Public contacts; staff tools login-gated |
| UW Tacoma and UW Libraries | Departments, faculty, and staff | University of Washington | Free online directories |
| ATIP and ARMS | Owners, taxpayers, grantors, and grantees | Pierce County | Free official indexes |
| Tacoma historic directories | Past residents and subscribers | Libraries and Archives | Onsite, catalog, and database access |
Start with the narrowest credible role. A department category is better than a broad surname for a county contact. Use ATIP for an owner tied to a parcel, ARMS for a person named on a recorded instrument, and historical volumes for an earlier occupant. A modern student or school employee may not appear in an open directory because education access is intentionally limited.
Pierce Directory Serves Frederickson
Because Frederickson is unincorporated, there is no city staff directory. The Pierce County staff directory is the first public roster for the Auditor, Assessor-Treasurer, Clerk, courts, Council, Planning and Public Works, Sheriff, and many other units. Search by first name, last name, or category. Category browsing can reveal a full unit when the person’s name is unknown.
| Search Field | Type | Required | How to Use It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category | Dropdown | No | Choose All Categories or a named county office or unit. |
| First Name | Text | No | Current employee given name. |
| Last Name | Text | No | Current employee surname. |
| Search | Button | No | Runs the name and category query. |
A result card may show initials or a photo placeholder, name, title, unit, email or message link, phone, and sometimes an office, mailing address, or fax. The county directory interface illustrates that category-first approach.
The roster is a work-contact directory, not a list of all Frederickson residents. If a name is absent, use the department’s main contact or ask the county which unit holds the record.
Frederickson Government Staff Directories
The Washington employee directory extends a Frederickson search beyond county government. It accepts last name, first name, and agency. That helps when the likely contact works for Elections, Archives, Licensing, Health, or another statewide service but the agency is uncertain. Washington also maintains an agency directory for browsing office-level contacts.
- Name fields cover a current first and last name.
- Agency is a separate searchable field.
- County results may add title, unit, phone, email, address, or fax.
- The scope is official work contact data, not private resident details.
The state contact search shows the simple three-field form.
Try agency alone if a surname has changed or is uncertain. If the correct worker still does not appear, use the agency’s main line rather than treating absence as proof the person has no public role.
Note: A title or unit is time-sensitive, so confirm the result on the agency’s own current contact page.
Frederickson Education Directories
Frederickson schools are served by Bethel School District. Its staff page points users to MyBethel and the staff intranet rather than exposing a public name-search form. Public school pages may still name administrators and official contacts. The district office at 516 176th Street East in Spanaway can route a question, but student information and internal staff tools are not open directories.
The Bethel directory landing page makes that access boundary visible.
Use a school’s public contact page for its current administrator. For an old classmate, a yearbook, newspaper, archive catalog, or alumni collection is a better fit than a restricted modern roster.
Frederickson University Directory Sources
The UW Tacoma directory offers site search, a link to the all-UW directory, and a department table with locations, phone numbers, email contacts, and mailboxes. The separate UW Libraries staff directory can be searched or filtered by associated location, department, and consultation area. Entries may include a name, title or specialty, unit, phone, email, and expanded detail.
The UW Tacoma directory screen is useful when the department is known first.
Department contacts can lead to the right public role without assuming that a similar name is the same person.
The UW Libraries staff directory adds subject and location filters.
That specialty field can distinguish librarians with different roles and identify the best contact for a regional-history question.
Frederickson Public Record Directories
Several official indexes function like people directories even though they were built around records. ARMS lists grantors, grantees, and other parties on Pierce County recorded instruments from 1984 forward. It can return an instrument type, role, date, and recording number. Redacted online images are uncertified, and a parcel-linked search may miss instruments, so a party-name search is not a complete title search.
ATIP is a real-estate owner and taxpayer directory. It links a name to a parcel, physical site address, mailing address, sales, and assessed-value fields. “Situs” means the parcel’s physical location; mailing address means where tax correspondence goes. Preserve both and the record year. VoteWA is different: it is personal self-service, while a public voter extract is controlled by election law. Access rules and requests are covered with the Frederickson public records system.
Frederickson Professional Name Directories
Washington professional and business portals separate roles that commercial listings often blur. Department of Licensing search uses name, license number, type, and location for covered occupations. Labor and Industries accepts a business or owner name, contractor or tradesperson license, workers’ compensation account, or UBI, then reports status, owners, bond and insurance information, and public citation markers. Health credential search adds issue, renewal, expiration, status, restrictions, and disciplinary material.
- Use the WSBA Legal Directory for lawyers by name, license, and status.
- Use CCFS for entity name, UBI, registered agent, status, and filing history.
- Use DOR for tax accounts, reseller permits, licenses, and trade names.
- Use OSPI for educator certification rather than a school staff roster.
A registered agent is a legal service contact, not proof of ownership. Compare the entity, credential, address, and date before linking two directory entries to one person.
Historical Frederickson People Directories
Frederickson’s older residents are usually indexed under Tacoma, a Pierce County series, a precinct, school, subdivision, or postal community. Tacoma city directories span 1885 through 2021. Before 1928 they are mainly surname-arranged; address arrangement begins in 1928 and supports reverse, or “criss-cross,” searching. Phone books begin in 1919. State Archives preserves selected Polk editions from 1919 through 1983 and Tacoma school directories from 1902 through 1948.
- City directory
- A yearly name list that may include address, occupation, spouse, or work association.
- Reverse directory
- An address-arranged volume used to identify who was listed at a street location.
- Register
- An official series listing members of a defined group, such as teachers, graduates, or licensed professionals.
Pair an edition with a census, deed, newspaper, or probate record. A directory lists the person associated with an address in that publication cycle; it does not prove ownership or continuous residence.
Frederickson Library Directory Trails
The Pierce County Library genealogy collection offers databases, obituary help, and microfilm resources. Tacoma Public Library’s Northwest Room holds directories, phone books, newspapers, maps, photographs, and a large obituary index. That index contains more than 510,000 entries, with complete coverage from 1980 through early 2023 and incomplete earlier coverage.
The county library genealogy page shows the practical starting points.
Use an obituary citation to reach the newspaper, then verify names and kin against vital, cemetery, or probate sources.
| Collection | Coverage | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Tacoma city directories | 1885-2021; reverse arrangement from 1928 | Library and archival holdings |
| Phone books | Tacoma from 1919 | Onsite holdings |
| Obituary index | Complete 1980-early 2023; earlier entries incomplete | Free citations |
| School and teacher registers | Graduates 1901-1937; teachers 1919-1950 | Archives catalog and appointment |
Frederickson Community Archive Directories
PLU Archives preserves Parkland and Pierce County collections, Scandinavian immigrant material, and Region I ELCA church archives. Its oral-history project documents 282 Scandinavian immigrant men and women. Research registration is required, collections are closed-stack and noncirculating, and donor or institutional restrictions may apply. Tacoma Historical Society adds more than 400 bound newspaper volumes back to 1883, nearly a century of directories, yearbooks, photographs, maps, and manuscripts.
Northwest ORCA also describes Northern Pacific Railway group and event photographs, oral histories, and community-created records. Search by creator, organization, congregation, school, event, employer, or place, then arrange access to stored originals. No authoritative open Frederickson chamber, neighborhood, union, or congregation member roster was verified. That gap should remain a gap rather than being filled with an unverified commercial list.
Note: Historic Frederickson evidence may be cataloged under Pierce County or a nearby postal community, not the modern place name.
