Public Records Requests

Washington's Public Disclosure Act (RCW 42.17) requires each local agency to make available to the public its methods for obtaining public records. In compliance with that Act, the LOTT Alliance adopted a Public Disclosure Policy and appointed a Public Records Officer to process requests.

How to Make a Request

If you wish to make a formal request for LOTT public records, please complete the Request for Public Records form. On the form, you may choose to receive document copies at a nominal fee, or request to view the documents at the LOTT Administrative Office free of charge. Your request will be processed within five business days unless otherwise notified.

You can deliver the request form to the LOTT Alliance by:

• Faxing the form to (360) 664-2336;
• Sending a scanned image by email to Erin Michael, LOTT's Public Records Officer;
• Mailing the form to the LOTT Alliance at 111 Market Street NE, Suite 250, Olympia, WA 98501; or
