From John Wilkinson, a member of the Legal Marriage Alliance of Washington's Board of Directors, and formerly the state director of the group, here is an updated LIST O' LINKS TO MARRIAGE SITES. This compilation is entirely John's work, with the assistance of others, as he has noted:

"The majority of these links were lifted verbatim from the excellent Marriage Equality California (MECA) site. Thanks to the many people who sent suggestions for additions, which I've forwarded to L.J. Carusone at MECA. L.J. writes that MECA will be happy to share its links with other groups or have others link directly to the links page at http://marriageequalityca.org/links_marriage.php.

"I've used MECA's order and categorization for ease of comparison between their existing links and suggested additions.

"Please send any additions directly to me at jwilk@eskimo.com. I'll include them in a recurring post of this list."
