About This Archive
Who publishes this, and why it is sourced
This archive is published by the campaign of Damon Townsend, who is running against Linda Farmer for Pierce County Auditor. We have an obvious interest in the outcome, so the standard here is that you never have to take our word for anything.
Every entry links to the underlying material: the public record, the court filing, the state report, the archived page or the news account. Where the records do not settle a question, the entry says so rather than filling the gap with an assumption.
