In rare 3-way race, judge candidates have diverse reasons to run

EVERETT — Of two new judge seats up for grabs, only one will have a primary election.

In March 2022, Gov. Jay Inslee signed a new law to add two Superior Court judges in Snohomish County, bringing the county’s total to 17. It was the first expansion of the county bench since 2007.

The two new seats are the only judicial positions up for election in Snohomish County Superior Court. Seat 16’s two candidates, incumbent Judge Miguel Duran and Brett Rogers, who ran for prosecutor in 2022, will automatically advance to the general election.

Seat 17 has three candidates: incumbent Patrick Moriarty and attorneys Mary Anderson and Jody Cloutier.
