*** The University of Washington has implemented a new portal for public records requests: NextRequest . Please sign into your NextRequest account to view your request or message staff. Your portal account is registered to the email address associated with your public records request. When records become available, you will be notified and able to view the responsive records in your account. If you have trouble accessing your portal account, please email pubrec@uw.edu for assistance.***
