2022 special permit draw results

[Rainier10]

Is there a specific time that they release the results each year?

So I have been a witness twice.  Both times the witnessing part happened between 8-10am.  The first time I was in Olympia and before I got home to seattle results were being posted.  The second time was during covid and witnessing was done via Microsoft teams.  That time results were a little later in the day.

The process is very very thorough with checks, double checks, cross checks.

When you are a witness you only witness a 2-3 of the draws and see that they do the exact same process for each draw.  After you leave they finish up their work and start releasing the results a little at a time.

If there is a hitch in the process results would be delayed I am sure.  If all goes well they should be out by close of business the day of witnessing or first thing the next morning.

witnesses giving any kind of tip in advance of the drawing is a big no no.

Remember the longer it takes to get results the longer you have hope of drawing. Truth is once results are out most dreams are crushed. Not trying to be a buzzkill trying to get everyone to enjoy the hope s little longer.

I savor the hopes & dreams until my apps are submitted, then over it. Enjoy a little more anxiety when the results actually come out, then....

Why is that?

WDFW staff is busy getting the draw done.  They don't need a bunch of phone calls saying "why isn't the draw done?  So and so was a witness and says it was done already."  Also the website is setup to handle a certain amount of traffic.  The day results come out they get a ton of traffic, I am sure more traffic than get any other day of the year.  I know Huntwa traffic is typically higher the days leading up to and just after the draw than any other day.

When the witness is done but results haven't been posted if everyone starts logging on to the site checking results it slows everything down and WDFW staff is trying to upload the results.  Uploading the results takes a bunch of bandwidth.  If that bandwidth is full of people logging on to check their results it makes loading the results that much tougher.  Systems crash with that much activity all at once.

It just makes it easier for them to do their job if they can get the information uploaded and then let people know the results are posted.  You will notice that you won't actually get an email saying results are posted until the afternoon or evening that they were posted even though the results may have been posted early that day or the day before.
