Washington State Appellate Courts' Portal

ATTENTION:

Effective September 14, 2022 public documents filed using the Appellate Court E-Filing Application will be made available on a new document portal called "Appellate Court Public Document Portal" located at Public Case Search and Washington Courts Homepage. This portal requires the user to provide a complete Appellate case number and only allows searches for public case documents on a case-by-case look up. Public Appellate case documents made available on this website may include documents filed by a party of the case and documents issued by the Appellate Court. It should also be noted that not all documents filed with the Appellate Courts are available on this portal.

General Rule (GR) 31 provides that parties "shall not include, and if present shall redact" social security numbers, financial account numbers and driver's license numbers. As indicated in the rule, the responsibility for redacting the personal identifiers rests solely with counsel and the parties. The Clerk's Office does not review documents for compliance with the rule.
