How do i find out who owns a property?

[Kevin Moore]

Hi all!

There is a property in my small Seattle area town that has been vacant for years. The owner died in 2010 and the property looks like it has been ignored since then with no trespassing signs in the windows. I was able to look up the tax and sale information and found that the Sherriff was ordered to sell the property back in Dec 2012 to settle the remaining debt with the bank. There is absolutely no record of any sale happening. The taxes look like they were paid up until the end of 2017.

How can I figure out who owns this property?

Thanks for any help!
