PUBLIC DISCLOSURE

Exceptions are provided by both state and federal laws.
All information collected at this website becomes public records that may be subject to inspection and copying by the public unless an exemption in law exists. RCW 42.56.070 (1) states that:

To the extent required to prevent an unreasonable invasion of personal privacy interests protected by this chapter, an agency shall delete identifying details in a manner consistent with this chapter when it makes available or publishes any public record; however, in each case, the justification for the deletion shall be explained fully in writing.
