Emergency Administrative Order 24-1 Rescinded.


Earlier this month, Washington's Administrative Office of the Courts announced they had identified unauthorized activity on the Washington Courts network. That office took immediate action to secure critical systems and work to safely restore service. As a result, the state's Judicial Information System, Washington Courts website and affiliate websites were not accessible, and the Court did not have access to our case management system. Systems were restored on November 18, 2024.  Administrative Order 24-2 has been issued rescinding Administrative Order No. 24-1.

Mission Statement
The mission of Skagit County Superior Court is to deliver fair, prompt, and understandable resolutions of legal disputes. We will provide equal access to justice and treat participants professionally, impartially and respectfully.

Information for Jurors

Jurors are an essential part of the system of justice.  The court appreciates the service of all jurors. Additional information on your jury service is available here.

Potential Juror Scams: Superior Court will never ask jurors for their credit card or social security numbers or to pay “juror fines.”  More information about protecting yourself from potential juror scams can also be found on the juror information page and here.


To Attorneys and Litigants

With limited exceptions, all court hearings and trials are conducted in person. Zoom is also available for many hearings.  If you appear over Zoom, you are expected to follow the same rules of courtroom conduct as though you were present in person. 

Updated September 1, 2024: See Superior Court’s Local Court Rules for the most updated information on court procedures. For ease of use, the 2024 changes to the local court rules can be found here.

Refer to the Daily Calendar for information on how to access your hearing.

The Clerk’s Office procedures for filing documents can be found here.


In Case of Illness

If you become ill with symptoms of COVID-19 or other respiratory illness and have a fever, you must not be physically present in court until 24 hours after the fever ends and symptoms are improving.  It is recommended that you wear a face mask for the following five days upon your return. 

Face masks are available upon request to anyone entering the offices or courtrooms of Superior Court.
