"Who's Who at SMC"
In November 2024, the Seattle Municipal Court introduced a new blog series—essentially a “Who’s Who at SMC”—that lets you get to know the people behind the scenes who make the day-to-day interactions at the court function. Several of their photos are above.
So far, we’ve introduced readers to people in the following roles: a bailiff, court cashier, jury coordinator, probation counselor, magistrate and the court’s chief clerk. This series is expected to conclude in February.
SMC's Community Resource Center
Coming to court or being involved in the judicial system can cause anxiety or nervousness. The high stakes in a court case or participating as a witness or juror can be stressful.
SMC has a positive resource available to help people—whether it’s individuals who have been through the court process, people in transition, or really anybody in the community in need of services. This resource—called the Community Resource Center (CRC)—is on the second floor of the courthouse. Click here to read more.
Continuing in our mission to be a fair and equitable tribunal
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI, sometimes known as DEIB, to include belonging) has frequently been in the news. Across the country, DEI seems to be under attack. Countless universities, businesses and organizations have eliminated these programs. Yet at Seattle Municipal Court, DEI isn’t going away anytime soon.
