Trial Court Public Defense Data Dashboard:
WSAC is proud to announce that the Trial Court Public Defense Dashboard is now live! You'll find data that has been collected by the Office of Public Defense (OPD) on county trial court public defense services expenditures statewide between 2010-2021. OPD is statutorily required to disburse state-appropriated funds to counties and cities for the purpose of improving the quality of trial court public defense services.
In the interactive visualizations, at the link below, you can select a specific county, view total expenditures for each year, see the total state grant amount of funds disbursed to a county by OPD each year, view the percentage of the year’s total expenditures that are covered by the grant, and learn each year’s per capita expenditures.

2023 Puget Sound Day on the Hill:
Jefferson County Commissioner, Kate Dean, Thurston County Commissioner, Tye Mesner, and San Juan County Councilmember, Cindy Wolfe, took time this month to participate in Puget Sound Day on the Hill in Washington, D.C. They joined Tribes and other Puget Sound salmon recovery organizations to advocate for federal funding programs aimed at improving the threatened Puget Sound ecosystem and salmon species.
These WSAC members met with Senators Murray, Cantwell, and Merkely (OR) and Representatives Larsen, Kilmer, McMorris Rodgers, Schrier, and Gluesencamp Perez. They also heard from a federal agency panel composed of EPA, NOAA, the Navy, and the CEQ about the agency’s efforts in the state.
