A brave few lawmakers in the House and Senate stood up for government transparency, countering their caucus leaders who insisted the Legislature should not be subject to the state Public Records Act.

Some lawmakers opposed the bill because it did not require enough openness; others because the process was the antithesis of transparency — a fast track with no meaningful hearings. Others opposed for both reasons.

Here are the legislative open-records heroes from King and Snohomish counties who stood up for your right to know.
