Likely you are right, WA has the same possibility. I will need to check with the Dept of Health licensing dept to see for sure. Thanks for the info. I think the geocoding results that I am dealing with underscores that, especially if you are "outsourcing" geocoding (which some health depts are doing) that you better be careful.

Still not explained. My wife's grandmother spent her last years in private home in Portland OR that was licensed to care for the elderly. Over the years that address would record many deaths such as her's. If Washington has the same system of adult care in private homes, it would explain your results.
