Any person who objects to the denial or partial denial of a request for a public record may petition for prompt review of such decision by tendering a written request for review of that decision to the public records officer. The petition shall include a copy of or reasonably identify the written statement of the public records officer denying the request. The public records officer shall promptly provide the petition and any other relevant information to the district attorney. The district attorney shall promptly consider the petition, and provide the requestor a written determination of whether the record is exempt. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to establish an attorney-client relationship between the district attorney and the requestor. The requestor may obtain court review of denials of public records requests pursuant to RCW 42.56.550 after the initial denial, regardless of any internal administrative appeal.
