Re: sponge or sealing of records

There is no expungment of records, though you may be eligible to vacate (adult offenses) or seal (juvenile offenses) your record. It is possible to seal an adult criminal record, but you would have to meet a very high burden. Read the recent opinion in State v. Waldon for the criteria.

You can find forms at www.courts.wa.gov.
