The Washington Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday in a case that will determine whether the names of four Seattle police officers who attended events in the nation’s capital on the day of the insurrection are protected under the state's public records law and whether an investigation into their activities should be made public.
The officers say they did nothing wrong and revealing their names would violate their privacy, but those seeking disclosure say the officers' attendance at a widely covered public demonstration that drew thousands on Jan. 6, 2021, was not a private activity.
