Using ORCA with MacOS Ventura | Washington State Public Disclosure Commission (PDC)

The PDC is aware of an issue that is causing data on its website to load slowly. We have alerted the state’s Open Data vendor and are urging it to find the root cause. In the meantime, trying hitting the refresh button, or wait a few moments before trying your data query again.

Due to increased controls in MacOS Ventura, users of that operating system need to employ this simple workaround to use ORCA .

Launch ORCA by right clicking (or control clicking) on the ORCA application icon and select "Open".

When prompted, select "Open" from the dialog that follows. This only needs to be done once after installing MacOS Ventura or installing a new copy of ORCA. ORCA updates do not require the user to repeat the procedure.
