From: Eugene Bentown


To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Washington Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Records that have to do with a video that was widely distributed via social media with over 1,500 shares, that urges individuals to shop at local businesses as they open up for Phase 2. There is a claim at the end of the video that it was not funded with public dollars, but both the fire and police departments had uniformed presence in the video. I am inquiring about any information that had to do with the production of this video, including all correspondence with "A Huge Production", a private company based in Arlington, WA, owned by Chris Kuhn and Angela Kuhn.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Eugene Blundell

From: Police Department
