Tools and Campaigns

What a Snohomish County resident needs to check a camera, catch a council agenda, and file a records request, plus the Washington campaigns already doing it.

Campaigns in Washington

DeFlock Everett is organizing to cancel the contract in a city that switched its cameras back on in April 2026 and logged 13.2 million plate reads that June. DeFlock Lynnwood organized in the first Washington city to terminate a Flock contract after its cameras were switched on, and Olympia and Redmond both shut their networks down in late 2025. These are the campaigns closest to home.

Organize in Your Own City

Two of the groups above are Snohomish County's own: DeFlock Lynnwood in the city that already won, and DeFlock Everett in the city whose cameras came back on. If yours still runs cameras, the work starts with two or three neighbors, one council agenda, and the record of what your city actually signed.
