Blake Refund Resources 
In 2021, the Washington State Supreme Court found the law criminalizing drug possession unconstitutional. As a result of this decision, known as State v. Blake, any Blake-related convictions qualify to be removed (vacated) from one's criminal record, and any legal financial obligations (LFOs) paid as a result qualify for financial reimbursement.
