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

Tue Apr 26 19:24:47 PDT 2022

Brent -

I totally agree with you. This process takes way longer, way too many
clicks, and charges a $2.50 convenience fee for every document request. I'm
particularly irked that the County just spent what I'm sure was a lot of
time and lot of money going backwards in technology that only made
everyone's lives more difficult and expensive. But I have learned to expect
nothing less from the Government.
