[WSBAPT] Scream Into the Void....King County Recording

Wed Nov 3 16:30:02 PDT 2021

Has anyone had success getting King County to reconsider a request to
change something on a REETA? I have a case where the King County Recorder
is requesting a different WAC exemption to be listed. The change makes no
difference in terms of the tax owed, but has potentially significant
implications for the case as a whole. And I think it's wrong. What would I
say if challenged by DOR? King County made me do it?  But, there's no
walk-in service and they don't answer the phone. So it seems their unsigned
administrative letter is the last word....

Thank you for allowing me to join in this primal scream into the void.
