How do I file a petition for a writ of certiorari?

In Washington, filing a petition for a writ of certiorari follows the same process as filing an appeal. To file a petition for a writ of certiorari, you must first file a notice of appeal with the Washington State Court of Appeals. The notice of appeal should include the case name, case number, and a statement of facts. You must also submit a copy of the judgment or order you are appealing. Once the notice of appeal is filed, you must then submit a petition for a writ of certiorari to the Washington Supreme Court. The petition should include a copy of the notice of appeal and a statement of the facts of the case. You must also include your arguments as to why the Supreme Court should grant your petition for a writ of certiorari. You must then serve a copy of the petition for a writ of certiorari on the other party. Finally, you must file a proof of service with the Supreme Court and a certificate of service with the Court of Appeals. Once your petition is filed, the Supreme Court will review the petition and either grant, deny, or dismiss the petition. If the petition is granted, the Supreme Court will then review the case on the merits.
