Public Records Request

Public Records

The City of Ferndale is committed to providing easily accessible public records to the public. The city is obligated to follow the Washington State Public Records Act (RCW 42.56) in performing its records management duties.

City Clerk Susan Duncan is Ferndale’s public records officer, pursuant to FMC 2.21. To request public records, visit https://cityofferndalewa.nextrequest.com/ to submit your request online. Alternatively, you can download the Public Records Request Form (PDF) and  mail it to P.O. Box 936, Ferndale, WA 98248, or drop it off at City Hall, 2095 Main St., Ferndale, WA 98248. For questions, call the City Clerk at 360-685-2354. Sometimes, records are exempt from disclosure, pursuant to the state’s Public Records Act (state Model Rules explain this). Other times, records are exempt based on laws outside of the PRA. View a list of those other statute exemptions online.
