External Support and Safety
There are national and local organizations that support victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Bellevue College’s Gender-Based Violence Prevention website has information on some the area agencies. Additional information for King County is located on the county website.
A protection order (often referred to as a restraining order) is court-issued and prohibits another person from communicating with you and requires them to remain a certain distance away from you. If the recipient of a protection order or restraining order breaks those rules, the court may take action. Information regarding protection orders in Washington state can be found through Washington State Protection Order Resources.
If you are in immediate danger, dial 911.
