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 in Washington State qualify to be removed (vacated) from one’s criminal record, and any legal financial obligations (LFOs) paid as a result qualify for financial reimbursement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yakima Municipal Court recently completed the processing of vacates for applicable drug possession convictions. As part of this process, a copy of the order has been sent to the Yakima Police Department and Washington State Patrol to update criminal history records accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
