Wash. Admin. Code § 192-02-130 - Denials of requests
(1) A
denial of a request for records will be accompanied by a written statement of
the specific reasons therefor.
(2)
If the department denies a requestor access to public records, the requestor
may petition in writing to the public records officer for a review of that
decision. The petition shall include a copy of or reasonably identify the
written statement denying the request.
(3) The department shall promptly review a
petition to review a denial of a public records request and either affirm or
reverse the denial within two business days following the department's receipt
of the petition or within such other time as the department and the requestor
mutually agree to.
(4) If the
department denies a requestor access to public records because it claims the
record is exempt in whole or in part from disclosure, the requestor may request
the attorney general's office to review the matter, pursuant to
RCW
42.56.530. The attorney general has adopted
rules on such requests in WAC
44-06-160.

denials of public records requests pursuant to
RCW
42.56.550.
