Washington's Public Records Act establishes strong disclosure policies for government information. Public records include any state or local documents that relate to government conduct or governmental functions. These records must be prepared, used, or retained by state or local agencies such as cities, counties, districts, or similar governmental entities.
Public records take many forms, including writing, recordings, pictures, electronic disks, magnetic tapes, and email. Citizens can request these records by completing the form provided below.
DO NOT use this form to request student records, fingerprint records, or any other records not defined in the Public Records Act.
