Possession Convictions

Blake Refund Bureau

In 2021, the Washington State Supreme Court found the law criminalizing drug possession unconstitutional. As a result of this decision, known as

State v. Blake⁠

, any Blake-related convictions qualify to be removed (vacated) from one's criminal record, and any legal financial obligations (LFOs) paid as a result qualify for financial reimbursement.

If you have a Blake-impacted criminal record, you must first have your Blake-related convictions vacated and refund eligibility determined by the

Washington State county court or courts⁠

where you were convicted. For information on vacating Blake convictions in county district or superior courts, visit the Washington State Office of Public Defense page
