What records are exempt from public disclosure?

Each record must be reviewed to determine whether it is exempt from production. Most exemptions are listed in RCW 42.56. However, certain statutes outside public records laws also provide exemptions from disclosure or prohibitions on disclosure of particular records. When the City denies a request for production of a public record, the specific statutory exemption on which the denial is based must be identified along with a brief explanation of how the exemption applies.
