MISSION

The Office of the Attorney General will provide excellent, independent, and ethical legal services to the State of Washington and protect the rights of its people.

ANTI-RACIST COMMITMENT

The Office of the Attorney General is committed to recognizing, addressing, and eradicating all forms of racism within the scope of its work and operations.  Conversations about race require courage, respect, and compassion. We recognize that when we enter into these conversations, we may not always be comfortable and may need to lean into the discomfort. As an agency that strives to be anti-racist, it is our goal to identify, discuss, and challenge racial inequity in the workplace and the impact it has on our employees, and, within our authority, combat racism that impacts the people of the State of Washington.

VISION

The Office of the Attorney General will be the best public law office in the United States.
