Several of the first couples to receive same-sex marriage licenses in Washington state pose with King County Executive Dow Constantine (Top,R), who signed their licenses, at the King County Recorder's Office on December 6, 2012 in Seattle, Washington. The office opened at 12:01 AM PST to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples for the first time after Washington voters chose to legalize same-sex marriage in November's election.
