Coming Oct. 2: Special Forum for Washington State Supreme Court Candidates
At the Bellingham Golf and Country Club
Please purchase tickets online here by September 28, 6:00pm.
With five of nine Supreme Court positions on the November ballot, the majority of our State Supreme Court will be elected this fall. To help us make informed votes, the Bellingham City Club and Whatcom Bar Association are presenting this special live forum.
Candidates will make their case as to why you should vote for them and answer questions developed by Bellingham City Club and Whatcom Bar Association members. The forum is designed to illuminate how each candidate will approach serving as a Supreme Court Justice.
How Do You Choose a Judge?
A panel of judges from three different courts, organized by the League of Women Voters of Bellingham/Whatcom County, explains what they each do and what voters should look for in a judicial candidate. Watch it here.

Bellingham City Club normally meets in person on the fourth Wednesday of each month, except October and November (3rd Wednesday); no meeting in December.
