Clear old drug convictions in Chelan County July 18

CORRECTION: The event date has been corrected to Friday, July 18th in this updated version

If you or someone you know has a past drug possession conviction in Washington State, help may be just around the corner.

The first-ever Blake Drug Possession Relief Day is happening Friday, July 18, at the Chelan County District Court in Wenatchee.

Back in 2021, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled the state’s drug possession law was unconstitutional. That decision—known as State v. Blake—made hundreds of thousands of convictions eligible for vacation and reimbursement.

Legal experts will be available in-person at the District Court from 9 a.m. to noon and again from 1 to 4 p.m. to help people clear eligible convictions and apply for financial refunds.
