Findings

Worth a look Late or missing

Filed the 2024 statement 155 days after the April 15 deadline

The statement for 2024 was first submitted on September 17, 2025; it was due before April 15, 2025.

What to check
  • Whether the PDC granted an extension or modification for this statement.
  • Whether the official's term began or ended in 2024 (the statement then covers the part of the year served, and is still due by April 15).

“After January 1st and before April 15th of each year, every elected official and every executive state officer who served for any portion of the preceding year shall electronically file with the commission a statement of financial affairs for the preceding calendar year or for that portion of the year served.”RCW 29B.55.010(1) ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
