[WSBAPT] Ex Parte Opening in Pierce County - how to get letters?

[Amy Goertz]

I just did this last week for the first time and I found this form online, which I then uploaded to ex parte via clerk (and had to pay another $40 for the presentation in addition to the cost of the letters) and then they mailed them.
