Senate Bill 5868

The legislation authorizes one additional Superior Court judge in both Yakima and Skagit counties.

“This is an important step forward for Yakima County and the people who depend on timely access to justice,” said Mendoza. “Families, victims, and individuals navigating the court system should not have to wait months or even years for their cases to be resolved.”

“Adding a ninth judge is a targeted, responsible solution that will reduce backlogs, improve public safety, and help ensure our courts function fairly and efficiently,” Mendoza said.

House Bill 2525

To establish a statewide heritage orchard program to identify and register historic orchards and catalog rare or “lost” apple varieties across Washington state.

“This law recognizes the farmers, farm workers, and families who built this industry and continue to sustain it today,” Mendoza said. “It is an investment in our agricultural roots and in the future of innovation and research that will keep Washington’s apple industry strong.”
