About Us
Welcome to the Grandparents' Rights of Washington State (G.R.O.W.S.). We are a determined assemblage of loving grandparents who seek visitation with a grandchild or grandchildren when one or both parents have unreasonably and without cause severed the relationship with the child.
GOOD NEWS!!!!
On March 22, 2018, Governor Inslee signed a bill that grants relatives, including but not limited to grandparents, the right to seek visitation with a child through the courts. The Grandparents’ Rights of Washington State (G.R.O.W.S.) organization would like to acknowledge Governor Inslee, Senator Jaime Pedersen (sponsor of Senate Bill 5598), and G.R.O.W.S. President Bob Rudolph for their long-term commitment to helping grandparents seek visitation rights to see their grandchildren. G.R.O.W.S. extends its appreciation to the legislators and G.R.O.W.S. members from across the state for their support to pass this legislation.
