Glitch today with SFT.wa.gov "Tumbleweed"

Partners,

Our apologies for problems this morning with https://sft.wa.gov, which is often called "Tumbleweed."

There was a small glitch last night when an encryption certificate was updated. The error was fixed by 10 a.m. Wednesday.

We're very sorry for the delay in providing your data and reports. It's working now.

Credit Card Billings - Make Sure Your Payment Processes

BLS City Partners,

Credit card bills for the first quarter of 2013 are processed. The invoices will be sent to you soon. 

NOTE: Please include a copy of the invoice with your payment. 

Attaching the invoice will ensure you are credited for the payment.

Also, it prevents BLS payments from getting mixed up with tax payments, refunds or other funds.

Thank you,

~BLS Partnership Services
