[WSBARP] reading old deed abstract

Send the last post too early.  Here are two from Archives, one from 1896 and the other a photo of one page in the book into which the doc is transcribed.  Very easy to read if you go to Archives.

Agree with Mark.  If in King County, the document is easily retrieved either from the Archives themselves or a title company (a little slower).  The Folks at the Archives are very helpful.

Sometimes those abstracts are not accurate abbreviations.  Best to get a copy of the original.

Eric- When the deed abstract is not clear I’ve requested photos of the actual handwritten recorded document so I can read the original; sometimes they include additional information that clarifies matters.

I had a situation a while back where the original hand written document clarified which party was responsible to maintain a bridge. The abstract merely said that there was an easement for a bridge and didn’t mention that anyone had an obligation to repair/maintain. - Mark

Can anyone decipher the boldface parts below, from a typed deed abstract from a title company, for a 1903 deed conveying property in Seattle and reserving a right to use an easement?

After redacting for confidentiality purposes and expanding the parties I can read, the abstract says:

Deed filed XXXX, 1903, 4:47 PM volume XXX of deeds, recording #XXXXXX
dated XXXX, 1903 – consideration $2500

AA and BA, his wife of Seattle, [W] to BB of Seattle:

First parties do hereby [gt s c & c] unto second party and to his heirs and assigns the following land in King County, Washington, to-wit:
                The West 80 feet of Lot 1 and the South 30 feet of the West 80 feet of Lot 2 in Block X of X Addition to the City of Seattle.
First parties do not part with the privilege of the free use of the sewer and water pipes laid under the surface of above premises for connecting the same with like pipes from adjoining properties for water and sewer purposes.
Together with [a] to have and to hold said premises with [a] unto said party and to his heirs and assigns forever.
Covs. g w.
(The notary acknowledgment follows after that.)

Any guesses?

Is W warrants?
Is gt s c & c "grants sells, covenants and conveys"?
Is a appurtenances?

Thanks in advance--

Sincerely,

Eric
