State Public Records Act

The City of Sequim provides records under the provisions of the Washington State Public Records Act, RCW 42.56. The city's procedures are found in the Sequim Public Records Guide and in Sequim Municipal Code. Some records are exempt from disclosure, in part or in whole. In addition, there are other statutes not listed in the Public Records Act that may exempt or prohibit the disclosure of certain documents. If disclosure of a document is denied, the records officer will provide the specific legal justification to you.

Records fees

Records responsive to your request can be reviewed free of charge during regular business hours. For larger requests, the City of Sequim charges a fee for paper copies and electronic files. Actual costs may be charged for providing customized access services such as information technology services. Any fees must be paid prior to the disclosure of records. Please pick up your request promptly as requests will be considered closed if not viewed or picked up within 30 days.
