County prosecutor, judges impose vaccine mandate on workers
EVERETT — Employees of Snohomish County’s court system and prosecuting attorney’s office have been told to get vaccinated against COVID-19 by November or they could lose their jobs.
County Prosecutor Adam Cornell and the presiding judges of the superior and district courts each issued a vaccine mandate this month. They are the county’s first elected officials to take the step in response to the continuing pandemic.
The mandates — like ones imposed on state workers and school employees by Gov. Jay Inslee — set deadlines to comply and bar workers from continuing in their current position absent proof of vaccination or receipt of an exemption for a medical reason or “sincerely held” religious belief.
Cornell said he spoke with Superior Court Judge Bruce Weiss and District Court Judge Doug Fair before acting.
