Section 392-190-081. Concurrent claims and remedies.

(1) Except as provided in subsections (2) and (3) of this section, nothing in this chapter is intended to deny an aggrieved person from simultaneously pursuing other available administrative, civil, or criminal remedies for an alleged violation of the law.

(2) A complaint made under WAC 392-190-065 through 392-190-075 may be held in abeyance pending the outcome of any proceeding in state or federal court or before a local, state or federal agency in which the same claim or claims are at issue, whether under RCW 28A.640.040, 28A.642.040, or any other law.

(3) Where the complainant elects to pursue simultaneous claims in more than one forum, the factual and legal determinations issued by the first tribunal to rule on the claims may, in some circumstances, be binding on all or portions of the claims pending before other tribunals.
