SEATTLE – Scott Cline, Seattle City Archivist, was recently inducted as a fellow of the Society of American Archivists in San Diego. Cline was one of five new Fellows named in 2012. He joins 178 Fellows of the Society of American Archivists.

He has spearheaded many significant projects through Seattle Municipal Archives and Office of the City Clerk, developing the program into a nationwide model.
