Exhaustion of administrative remedies.

A person may file a petition for judicial review only after exhausting all administrative remedies available within the commission, pursuant to RCW 34.05.534. Administrative remedies at the WHRC consist of commission hearings.

The court may relieve a petitioner of the requirements to exhaust any or all administrative remedies upon a showing that:

(1) The remedies would be patently inadequate;

(2) The exhaustion would be futile; or

(3) The grave irreparable harm that would result from having to exhaust administrative remedies would clearly outweigh the public policy requiring exhaustion of administrative remedies.
