Snohomish County judge candidates want to bring transparency to court
EVERETT — Only one seat on the Snohomish County Superior Court is up for election this year.
The incumbent, Judge Whitney Rivera, is a former public defender who served three years as the presiding judge on the Edmonds Municipal Court. In March, Gov. Jay Inslee appointed her to the Superior Court bench. She started work there in May.
Her opponent, Mary Anderson, has presided over 1,700 cases as a judge pro tem — a temporary judge — in Snohomish County District Court.
Anderson ran for another seat on the Snohomish County Superior Court bench last year, losing to Patrick Moriarty. She received 45% of the vote.
