The plaintiff’s attorney believes it to be the largest settlement levied against the Department of Social and Health Services on behalf of a severely disabled adult. DSHS is represented by the Washington state Attorney General’s Office.
The Northwest Regional Council also was named as a defendant, but the lawsuit is still being litigated against that agency, which provides services for seniors, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers in Whatcom, Island, San Juan and Skagit counties.
