Plain-English Summary

The federal government would establish an official office for the U.S. Attorney serving western Washington state in Clark County, allowing prosecutors to work closer to the communities they serve in that area. This would give the U.S. Attorney's office a physical location in Clark County to handle federal cases and legal matters affecting residents there, rather than requiring all work to be done from a distant office.
