Office of Juvenile Court

Welcome to Skagit County Office of Juvenile Court.

We provide a variety of services to youth and families of Skagit County. In doing so, we aspire to the following guiding principals:

ACCOUNTABILITY:
We believe that youth should understand the impact of their actions on victims and the community, accept responsibility for their actions and experience consequences that balance the impact of their actions with what will be effective for their rehabilitation.

COMMUNITY SAFETY:
We believe that all of Skagit County’s citizens deserve to be and feel safe from crime snd/or othr anti-social behavior.

REHABILITATION:
We believe that youth have strengths, are capable of change, can earn redemption, and can become responsible and productive members of our community.
