Our strategy is to write a letter, tell them they are not leaving you any choice but to seek a court order, which will include a request for attorney fees. Cite the statute. Give them a recent copy of the your letters. Give them 14 days to respond. If they still refuse, use TEDRA, file a petition for an order granting access, ask for attorney fees under RCW 11.96A.150. Make sure the court knows you tried to resolve this through the letter. Tip – write the letter so that the commissioners can see that you tried to resolve it professionally. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Regards,</span><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Mark<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Mark C.
