Upon denial of any request for public records, the requesting party may petition in writing (including email) to the director, with a copy to the public records officer, for review of such denial . The director or his or her designee shall review the denial and provide the results of such review in writing to the petitioner and the public records officer before the end of the second business day following the receipt of the request for review. This review will constitute final agency action for purposes of judicial review; however, under RCW 42.56.520, any person may seek judicial review upon the conclusion of two business days after the initial denial regardless of whether the internal agency review is complete.
