In Snohomish County Superior Court judge battle, candidates explain how they approach the role

The only Snohomish County Superior Court Judge seat up for election might be one of this year’s more conspicuous county-level races. The roadside billboards first went up months ago. Sitting judge Whitney Rivera was appointed to the superior court this spring and is seeking election. Trial attorney Mary Anderson is taking her second shot at being elected to the bench after running for a seat last year. Ballots are due Nov. 5. It’s a nonpartisan position.
