Seattle officers who attended Jan. 6 rally can't remain anonymous, Washington high court rules

Feb 13, 2025

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle police officers who attended the Jan. 6, 2021, rally and protests at the U.S. Capitol can be identified in public court records, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

The ruling says the officers haven't shown that the public release of their names violates their right to privacy, The Seattle Times reported.
Four officers who attended events in the nation’s capital on the day of the insurrection claimed they are protected under the state’s public records law. Using pseudonyms, they sued over whether an investigation into their activities should be made public. The officers say they did nothing wrong and that revealing their names would violate their privacy.

“At this time in history in particular, with growing efforts to prevent the public from learning information about our government, we are very pleased with today’s Supreme Court decision," Sueoka said in a statement. “We look forward to obtaining the full records about the investigation into the attendance of Seattle Police Department officers at portions of Stop the Steal.”
