2 Superior Court judge positions added in Snohomish County
OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee signed a new law Friday to add two Superior Court judges in Snohomish County.
Senate Bill 5575 creates the additional judges, bringing the county’s total to 17. It will be the first expansion of the bench in the county since 2007.
It will bring “immediate relief to the Snohomish County court system” to help decrease a case backlog due to the pandemic, Inslee said.
The process of filling the new seats, and the vacancy created by the recent death of Judge Cassandra Lopez-Shaw, is underway.
