OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — A Washington man has filed a lawsuit demanding the restoration of public access to the state Capitol and surrounding grounds.

Tyler Miller’s lawsuit seeks a court order for the state to remove temporary fences around the Capitol campus in Olympia and restore public access.

The Bremerton resident says he filed the lawsuit because barring the public from the building while the Legislature is in session is unconstitutional.

Gov. Inslee and Department of Enterprise Services Director Chris Liu are named as defendants in the lawsuit.
