MEDINA · PUBLIC-RECORDS TRANSPARENCY GRADE
A
23/24
Medina gets an A.
King County runs Washington PRA the way it was designed. Free statewide MyCase access, mandatory e-filing since 2009, public DAJD inmate lookup, machine-readable jail data on King County Open Data. The drag is mild: booking photos released on request rather than published by default. Same pattern as Cuyahoga and Fulton.
Note: County-level grade from King County applies — no separate city grade yet computed for Medina.
