Check out the Washington State Department of Revenue’s Unclaimed Property Website and see if the state is holding any money you may be owed. Believe it or not, this is not a scam! Read more about claiming your abandoned cash or property on the website. Then enter your name and address to see if you have any unclaimed money. I recently got $50 back.
