Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy cases are filed through the federal court system, not through the state courts.
You can obtain information on bankruptcies by visiting one of the following web sites:
- Washington Western Bankruptcy Court
- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court Western District of Washington has offices in Seattle and Tacoma. The district serves the region south of the Canadian border and north of the Columbia River between the Cascade Mountain range and the Pacific Ocean.
Washington Western Bankruptcy Court Forms

Washington Eastern Bankruptcy Court Forms
Additional information on Consumer Debt is available at the Washington LawHelp web site.
A pamphlet titled Bankruptcy, is one of the Consumer Information Pamphlets provided by the Washington State Bar Association.
Note: Additional documents may be required by local county superior court rules.
Important: To obtain legal advice you should hire a lawyer (for “full service” representation or for “limited” representation) or, if you cannot afford one, contact a low cost or free legal service program. For a referral to a lawyer or a legal service program, call CLEAR (888) 201-1014. If you are the victim of domestic violence, you may also obtain assistance from the Domestic Violence Hotline (800) 562-6025. Your county may also have a courthouse facilitator who cannot provide legal advice, but who can offer limited assistance in completing necessary paperwork. This list of forms is not legal advice and is provided only for reference purposes.
