Dear Ms. Schneier:
As I wrote when I submitted my request almost two months ago: I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
If you instead opt, as public agencies are allowed by RCW 42.56.520(1)(b), to provide specific links to the locations where these records are stored on your agency's website--available for all to see at any time, not hidden behind a paywall, stored in a third-party workflow management system at the pleasure of said third party, or buried under a rock outside of your office building that will move to reveal these public records if I stand over it and say some magic words--I will be happy to download them in lieu of receiving copies of them as requested.
I have already mailed a check for the fee of one dollar and twenty five cents as agreed. I trust you have received and deposited it.
Cordially,
Phil Mocek

Hello MuckRock,
I apologize for the delay in releasing these records. They are ready for download. We received your check on January 4, 2018 which was postmarked at December 29, 2017. Due to that delay in this release, I have torn up your check no. 1540 and am waiving the fee.
Your request will remain closed due to the elapse of 30-days following invoicing .
If you have questions, please feel free to call. I am at (206) 684-8159.
Best regards,
Matt Jaeger

Hi, Matt. Thank you for waiving the $1.25 fee previously demanded and destroying the check I mailed. Could you please send the responsive records as requested nearly five months ago? On September 7, 2017, I wrote, "I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not." I repeated this and added additional explanation in my e-mail message of October 24, 2017 to Ariel Schneier.
I wish to receive records as requested and in accordance with RCW 42.56.520. As I suspect you are aware, the law allows you to provide "an internet address and link on [your] agency's web site to the specific records requested" in lieu of sending them to a requester, so long as the requester does not inform you of his or her inability to access the Internet for such use. The law does not allow you to require that a requester register with your or a third-party records management system, authenticate to that system, and use that system to "navigate" to a private location where you effectively hid those records for that requester alone to find. I wish neither to opt for such hassle nor to legitimize such a system of obscured and monitored access to ostensibly-public records by participating in it.
If the law allowed this alternative to providing records as requested--register, login, "click around," etc.--and every agency did this, then the public would need to learn to use multiple specific systems--possibly as many as there are public agencies--in order to access our public records instead of simply using the standard interfaces that have served us well across every public agency for decades--human language communicated via postal mail, fax, or e-mail. People talking to other people at the speed of light seems fast enough to satisfy everyone's needs in this context. Storing *public records* in a private location available only by login seems almost as bad an option for the public as having those records filed away in their original, publicly-inaccessible, locations.
If it is not feasible to simply make public records available to the public upon creation of those records--without requiring people to go through a process of requesting, waiting, and receiving copies of those records as we typically must nowadays--then I suggest that you (and other agencies) place records which have been assembled in response to public records requests in a sort of Web-based public reading room, so that other people who wish to see those same records may easily find them in an anonymous and self-service manner, so that search engines may find and index those records, and so that you can provide the specific URLs of those records to requesters, thereby satisfying both your duty under the PRA and your likely desire to streamline your operating procedures by eliminating the need to deliver records, physically or electronically, in response to PRA requests.
Cordially,
Phil Mocek
