You can use this database to browse through or search for Washington vanity plates. You can see the plate text along with the car's year, color, make and model -- though you might have to puzzle out some of the state's codes.

This data was current as of the beginning of 2008. If you want to see if the plate you want to get is still available, surf over to the State's Web site.
