Local record guide
What we hold on Granger, and who keeps its records.
Local profile
Granger is an incorporated place in Yakima County, a place of 3,624 people, and keeps its own council and town business records. Yakima, the county seat, is where the county offices are. Each Yakima County office is listed on our Yakima County page.
Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 3 named mine sites inside the city or town limits, 3 of them worked out or abandoned; the old survey maps add 2 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are construction sand and gravel; Bentonite; Clay.
A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area. Washington has no state abandoned mine land program page; the survey's coal mine maps are the record.

Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about.
