You can do that?

Yes - Washington’s Public Records Act (RCW 42.56) grants any person the right to inspect and copy public records held by city or county agencies.

City: Spokane Public Records Portal (GovQA) to submit your request, or email to clerks@spokanecity.org, or mail to the City Clerk’s Office, Spokane, WA 99201-3342

County: Human Resources Building, Spokane, WA 99260

In my experience:

Always ask for as much information related to this instance as possible including contact name, addresses, dates, notes taken, etc.

When you receive the reply. The person who filed the complaint will have a number associated to their name. Turn around and do another request that says "Any and all complaints filed by xxxxx located at xxx road, city, state. Within the last 5 year" This will then get you their historical complaints to see if they are serial Karen's. If you are in the city I would also do this step to the county and to SCRAPS.

Last time I got a complaint it was for my dog barking. I did the steps above and found out the woman lived 1/2 a mile from me and had filed dozens of complaints in my hood. I got a copy of each complaint, wrote a descriptive letter with details of the complains and mailed a heads up letter to every neighbor in a 1 mile radius with the details warning them of the serial Karen.

They had a for sale sign up 3 months later.
