- Defendants must face Seattle City misdemeanant charges (i.e. have been arrested by the Seattle Police Department for the current charge) and possess a mental health diagnosis, be willing to participate in behavioral health care, and comply with court requirements. Treatment that is clinically necessary must be accessible. DV and DUI cases need prosecutor approval.
