I think you need to draft a letter to the HOA and cite RCW 64.38.045(2) as authority for your demand to view the HOA records. If you are still refused, please contact me and I will gladly handle this matter for you. Sometimes all it takes is a letter from an attorney to whip an uncooperative HOA board into shape. You may also be entitled to attorney's fees as a result of their initial refusal to cooperate. This is why I think you need to write that first letter yourself.

You need to have an attorney draft a letter for you regard this matter. Should the HOA still prohibit your access, you could file a lawsuit compelling them to do so. Note that under the WCA you can get attorneys fees for having to bring the lawsuit.

Please feel free to give me a call and I can discuss this with you further.
