Request an Accommodation

Submit your request

To request a reasonable accommodation, you can submit your request in 1 of these ways:

• Online form
• Mail or email form

We generally require 5 days advance notice to review reasonable accommodation requests. However, a response to an immediate need for accommodation will be provided to the fullest extent possible.

Granting Requests

Accommodation requests are granted to any qualified person with a disability for whom an accommodation is reasonable and necessary under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) or under Washington State Courts General Rule (GR) 33.

Your request will be granted unless it would:

• Be impossible or impractical for the Court to provide the requested accommodation on the date of the proceeding; and the proceeding cannot be continued without prejudice to a party to the proceeding
• Be an undue financial or administrative burden
• Fundamentally alter the court proceeding
• Threaten someone's safety or well-being

Once the Court has reviewed your request, we will contact you with the next steps.

You may be required to provide additional information for the Court to properly evaluate your reasonable accommodation request. 

Submitting medical information

Medical information should be submitted to the King County District Court ADA coordinator either by email (kcdcada@kingcounty.gov) or by mail to the King County District Court ADA Office.

If you want to seal confidential medical or healthcare documents, use the following coversheet: Sealed Medical and Health Information (Cover Sheet) and your documents will be sealed automatically.

If medical and other health information is not submitted under the Sealed Medical and Health Information (Cover Sheet), you may ask the Court to seal the documents later.
