Open Government: The Peoples Right To Know
Redmond has three local governments: The City of Redmond, Lake Washington School District and EvergreenHealth Public Hospital. We have a "right to know" information about their inner workings. Public Record Request forms usually find the information you need. When you don't get good information you may feel like the bearded guy in the cartoon.
Below, are helpful links to the Public Record Request forms for each government. From my investigative reporting, I have some good experience with them. In my opinion, Redmond is the most professional, EvergreenHealth a close second, with LWSD at the rear.
