Communicating With Pierce County Superior Court During Winter Storm Events
Not all departments may be open during those times, depending on driving/weather conditions, but the court will be open.
December 16, 2021
As we enter the Winter months here in Washington State, Superior Court wanted to share with the public the ways to communicate with the court in the event of a winter storm event. The court understands that just because it is not dangerous to travel in and around the County City Building, there may be areas of Pierce County that are greatly affected. Generally, Superior Court functions at the County City Building, Remann Hall (Juvenile Court) and Western State Hospital will be open normal business hours during a winter storm event.
