Wash. Admin. Code § 467-02-120 - Review of denials of public records requests
(1) Any person who objects to the denial of a
request for a public record may petition the public records officer for prompt
review of such decision by tendering a written request for review. The written
request shall specifically refer to the written statement by the public records
officer or other staff member which constituted or accompanied the
denial.
(2) After receiving a
written request for review of a decision denying a public record, if the public
records officer determines to affirm the denial, such decision shall constitute
final agency action. In any case, the request shall be returned with a final
decision, within two business days following receipt of the petition for
review.
(3) Administrative remedies
shall not be considered exhausted until the public records officer has returned
the petition with a decision or until the close of the second business day
following denial of inspection, whichever first occurs.
