The Governor's Office directs petitioners to send notices of appeals of rulemaking decisions by email to GovmiAPARuleAppeal@gov.wa.gov. https://governor.wa.gov/submit-petition-appeal-agencys-rulemaking-decision. Mr. Osmunson's petition was instead sent to askgov1@gov.wa.gov on December 23, 2025, despite this being the third appeal that Mr. Osmunson has submitted to the Governor in the last 12 months, and his being previously advised to submit such appeals to the correct mailbox. Mr. Osmunson's message was routed to the correct mailbox by the Governor's Constituent Services Unit on January 6, 2026. Accordingly, the Governor's Office considers the petition to have been received on January 6, 2026.
DATE: January 8, 2025
