Washington Law

RCW 42.17.250-.340 requires that identifiable public records be made available promptly to members of the public for inspection and copying upon request. Only records that are exempt by law may be withheld from disclosure. Allowable exemptions are detailed in RCW 42.17.130, 42.17.260, 42.17.255, 42.17.310, 43.21A.160, 70.94.205, 70.105.170 and 90.52.020. These exemptions are generally intended to prevent invasion of privacy and the use of public records for personal, commercial or political gain.
