Washington Supreme Court June 4, 1981, 47410-9 (Zoutendyk v. Washington State Patrol)

Dimmick, J. —

At issue is whether a state employee who seeks court review of an adverse decision by the Washington State Personnel Board (Board) is required to pay the costs of a transcript, either as a prerequisite to court review or as a taxable cost if he/she does not prevail on appeal.
