How your question is answered
When you ask a question:
- Relevant sections of the RCW, WAC, and applicable county codes are retrieved
- Only those retrieved sources are used to generate a response
- Each answer includes inline citations to the specific sections relied upon
The system is designed to ground every answer in verifiable source text, rather than general legal knowledge.
Citations and verification
Each response includes:
- Direct citations to RCW, WAC, and county code sections
- Links to the original source documents
- Clear separation between quoted law and explanatory summaries
Users should always review the cited sources before relying on an answer for decision-making.
