The City Clerk maintains the City's legislative records, official filings, and the Seattle Municipal Archives; keeps the minutes of City Council meetings; and provides information services to City agencies and the public. Seattle's first City Charter allowed for a Clerk of the Common Council to be elected by the Council. In 1875 the position of City Clerk became elective and remained so until 1896 when the new Charter designated the Comptroller ex-officio City Clerk. The Comptroller served as City Clerk through 1992. A 1991 City Charter amendment transferred the Comptroller's function to the Department of Finance and the City Clerk's Office became a division of the Legislative Department effective in 1993.

Correspondence, receipts, inventories, and financial records of committee appointed to dispose of emergency supplies following World War II. Supplies purchased by the City during the war with War Chest funds were administered by the Red Cross. Following the War, these supplies were put up for sale; unsold items were donated to the Red Cross and the Seattle Health Department.

Records are open to the public.

A Comptroller or Clerk File (CF) can consist of correspondence, reports, petitions, contracts, agreements, etc. from elected officials, City departments, other government agencies, or the general public, which have been placed "on file" with the Office of the City Clerk (OCC). They are primarily permanent records, but also include routine material which was periodically purged. Certain archival records identified in the CF have been removed, arranged into records series, and incorporated into the collection of the Seattle Municipal Archives, a program of the OCC.

On 2/15/1991 0.4 cubic foot of records were transferred from the Office of the City Clerk to the Puget Sound Branch-Washington State Archives (91-PS-0047). Records were returned to the Seattle Municipal Archives on 8/18/2004 (ra04-14).
