Curious citizen could get $1 million in public records case

Posted on February 4, 2009 by Michael Reitz

In 1997, Seattle hotel owner Armen Yousoufian asked for public documents showing the economic impact of building Qwest Field. He got the runaround from King County and eventually sued. Fastforward 12 years, and Mr. Yousoufian has been the state Supreme Court twice (with the most recent ruling last month), and could win a monster payment for the county's "egregious" violations of the Public Records Act. The Seattle Weekly has the story here.

(Full disclosure: the publishers of this blog filed an amicus brief in support of Mr. Yousoufian with the Court of Appeals.)
