Records Requests

Public Record Requests

Requests for Public Records can be submitted to the city through our records request portal.  Staff has provided commonly requested information under the Records Request tab.

The Fire Department receives requests for records on a daily basis.  While many are specific to an event or person, staff also receives a large number of general informational requests on permits issues and response locations and type.

Staff has organized these requests by common type.  Please contact us at 360.336.6277 if you have any questions.
