[WSBAPT] Changes at King County Clerk/Court - Records Requests

[Brent Williams-Ruth]

My apologies for being unclear - when I say and "account" I mean one where

it would just deduct from there - saving the convenience fee charged by the
County to cover their costs associated with the credit card transaction.
