W.D. Wash. CrR 56
When Court Is Open, Conducting Business, Clerk’s Authority
(a) Regular Sessions of Court
The court shall be in continuous session throughout the year in Seattle and in Tacoma. The court
may establish other locations in this district for holding court pursuant to General Order. Nothing
in this rule shall prohibit the court from conducting proceedings via electronic transmission in
lieu of live court proceedings.
(b) Hours and Closures.
The court’s hours and holiday closures are set forth on the court’s website at
https://www.wawd.uscourts.gov.
(c) Text Only Docket Orders
The clerk of court may issue text only docket orders for any act within the clerk’s authority. A
text only docket order is an order electronically entered on the case docket without an attached
document and is as official and binding as if the clerk of court had signed a document containing
the text. If the one or more of the parties are unrepresented and do not file electronically, the
clerk of court will mail to those recipients a copy of the Notice of Electronic Filing of the text
only docket order.

Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
