This is a class action lawsuit challenging the alleged refusal by officials in Pierce County, Washington, to remedy plumbing and sanitary conditions in Pierce County Jail cell blocks in violation of the First, Fourteenth Amendment, and Eighth Amendment, and state law.

On May 2, 2023, a pre-trial detainee with mental illness filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington on behalf of himself and 13 other similarly situated Pierce County Jail detainees. In the initial complaint, plaintiff sued Pierce County, its Sheriff and Undersheriff, the Chief of the Internal Operations of Corrections, and Numerous Corrections Officers working in Cell Block 3 (collectively “Pierce County”), as well as the state of Washington and officials from the Washington Department of Social and Health Services (“DSHS”). The complaint, which was filed pro se, alleged that the defendants’ failure to improve conditions in Cell Block 3 North violated the First, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, the Due Process Clause of the Washington Constitution, and constituted ministerial negligence/governmental misconduct. Plaintiff sought declaratory and injunctive relief as well as damages. The case was assigned to Judge Richard A. Jones and Magistrate Judge Grady J. Leupold.

The case was reassigned to Judge Thomas S. Zilly and Magistrate Judge S. Kate Vaughan a few months later on Aug 24, 2023.  Judge Vaughan granted the plaintiff’s request for appointment of counsel on September 1, 2023, and counsel was appointed on November 21, 2023. 

On March 1, 2024, now counseled, plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint, bringing claims against Pierce County and various County officials, including County Council members, the County Sheriff, the County Chief of Correction, and corrections officers. The complaint alleged that despite objective evidence dating back to 2014 creating a substantial risk of serious bodily harm due to unsafe and unsanitary plumbing conditions in the Pierce County Jail, the defendants had not remedied those serious plumbing issues nor moved the detainees from the insanity locations in the jail. The complaint further alleged that instead of improving these issues, the defendants housed some of the jail’s most mentally ill detainees there. The complaint asserted that these actions violated the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, Article I, section 3 and 14 of the Washington Constitution, as well as the defendants’ duty to keep detainees healthy and safe. Plaintiffs sought to certify a class of all detainees held in Pierce County Jail, Cell Block 3 North A from April 8, 2023 to the present, and any other detainees in other cell blocks which had unremedied plumbing problems leading to the same, similar or worse living conditions, and all detainees who would be held in those cell blocks in the future. The complaint sought a Special Master, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 53, to oversee the defendants’ compliance with the court’s orders. Plaintiff further sought, on behalf of the class, declaratory relief, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and costs, as well as compensatory and punitive damages for himself.   

The plaintiffs filed another amended complaint on February 13, 2025, adding another individual, named plaintiff, and bringing claims under the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the due process clause of the state constitution, and for tortious failure to keep health and safety under state law. The parties have been engaged in discovery.  On December 19, 2025, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment.  This case is ongoing as of December 2025.
