Lacey Ruddell Hoyt v. County of Skagit
About this source
This feed tracks every published opinion from Washington State's appellate courts: the Washington Supreme Court and the three divisions of the Court of Appeals. Around 290 opinions a month. Washington has one of the country's most distinct state-law regimes, with strong worker protection, environmental, and consumer privacy rules that often serve as models other states copy. The state's overlap with major tech employers (Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing) means commercial litigation here regularly produces precedent that affects national employer practices. Watch this if you litigate in Washington, advise tech sector employers, or track state law on workplace safety, public records, or unfair labor practices. Recent: a workplace safety penalties partial reversal in Cache Valley Electric, a PERC unfair labor practice affirmance in Zarate.
