I'd suspect this would require a court order of some kind due to patient privacy issues.

It looks from the tag like you're looking for people who were in Western State psychiatric hospital. That is a quagmire even for family members, since the stigma of mental illness was so extreme at the time.

There is an organization that is working to replace all the grave markers that just have a number on them with gravestones that have names. That organization may be a good place to start, if you want data. There is an article about it here: http://www.tacomadailyindex.com/portals-code/list.cgi?paper=88&cat=23&id=1522793&more=0

It is quite possible that there is no 100% accurate record, as you are talking about a long time ago, in a hospital for society's "undesirables," where many patients didn't really have families or anyone worried about their whereabouts.

I would start with the Grave Concerns Association and go from there. There is also a Western State Hospital Historical Society that might be able to help you: http://www.piercecountyhistory.org/WesternState.html
