Justice Mary Yu to step down from WA Supreme Court this year
Washington state Supreme Court Justice Mary Yu will retire from the bench at the end of this year.
Yu, appointed in 2014, told fellow justices Thursday afternoon after informing Gov. Bob Ferguson in a letter last week.
Ferguson will appoint a new justice, his first appointment to the state Supreme Court. An election will be held next year to complete the remainder of Yu’s term, which runs through Dec. 31, 2028.
“It is not an easy decision to step away,” she wrote in the letter. “I have had the good fortune of serving the people of our great state as a judge for 25 years and have cherished every single moment of such service.”
