The Port will respond promptly to your request. Within five business days after receiving a request, the Port will either:

1. Provide the record(s);
2. Acknowledge your request and give you a reasonable estimate of how long it will take to respond.
3. Communicate to you if any portion of your request is exempt from disclosure under state law.

If a request is not clear, the Port may ask you for further clarification.

Cost of Records:

The Port has established that calculating actual costs would be unduly burdensome and has adopted the statutory default charges in RCW 42.56.120:

• 15 cents/page for photocopies or printed copies of electronic records;
• 10 cents/page for records scanned into electronic format;
• 5 cents for every four electronic files or attachments uploaded to an email, cloud storage service, or other electronic delivery system;
• 10 cents/gigabyte for transmitting records electronically;
• The actual cost of the digital storage media/device, container used to mail the copies, and postage or delivery charges;
• A customized service charge for requests that would require information technology expertise to prepare data or provide customized electronic access.
