To me, the foundation of our criminal justice departments, starts with jurisdictional court of laws like the district court Evergreen division. Personally, I promoted myself available as an attorney, specifically, Legal counsel, to the evergreen division and they hired me. Unfortunately, still haven't had access to equal pay for equal work or any protection afforded to U.S. citizens under our labor laws which is sexism at the highest level of absolute gender discrimination of a black male. Had I been of white ethnicity and female of England ancestry, the evergreen division clearly would have made sure I got hired traditionally and received my salary routinely or annually with full access and freedom to spend my employment earning however I like, on whoever I like, where ever I like, while wearing whatever I like, whenever I like because it's my money, I made, you didn't. So my question to district court, evergreen division. When should I expect notice by mail from the bank you do business with on new hires.

Once I got there, even though it was very close to their noon lunch hour closure, the young lady at the front desk called the auditor office to check on a few things for me and saved me $130!! I wasn't sure if there was a time limit on the free name change after getting married and she called around to check it out for me. I can't express how thankful I am for that, she could have easily just taken my money. With the holidays coming up, 130 dollars can buy more presents. Thank you so much for making my first trip to your courthouse a friendly and pleasant one! I appreciate having kind people in our community.

First of all, the ancient building itself is quite a masterpiece. I love the big Rome style round roof with beautiful decorations. The rustic red brick and green sculptures reminds you of those old ages. Its old name 'UNION STATION' is still painted at one side of the building reminding people of its old glorious days. The first thing draw your eyes is the huge glass art piece hanging from the ceiling in the center. You can always a Chihuly piece from others by its distinctive beautiful colors and Medusa hair shape. Usually you expected to see one in fancy mall, hotel or museum, but not in a federal court house. You got to admit it sure added some color to this place. And at the second floor there is another Chihuly art piece, lots of color as well, and kind of like herd of tadpoles swimming in a pond. Downstairs is the cafeteria, restroom and some historical exhibitions. The soda machine here is quite cheap, only 50 cents for a can. Over the window you can see the glass museum cross the highway. Please note that bring your Id when visiting the place, because the guard will check it. It's a federal courthouse after all.

I digress). There really isn't much to do here except try to talk your way out of a speeding ticket. (Lucky for me the judge agreed and deferred my ticket. He, however, was not very interested in sitting through the 26 page presentation I made--replete with nice photos and examples of why this was entrapment. The least he could have done was shown some courtesy and let me get though my presentation for him.) The seating here is pretty uncomfortable and the employees seem to relish the control they yield over their subjects. I can't recommend this place unless you really either: a) have an affinity for traffic cops; or b) have toshow up because you got a ticket you need to try to get out of. Walk-in appointments are not accepted. Reservations are required.

Ugh!! The wheels of…read morejustice move so slowly at the clerk's office. Can I give them an "obstruction of justice" charge, lol. First, I was given wrong information from (name I forgot, sorry!) regarding release of information. She told me to look it up online. Okay, lazybones, I know it is not available online and I have to contact the courthouse. Sorry to interrupt your game of computer solitaire! Again she tried to deny me (I'm honestly beginning to wonder if she got paid off, I find her behavior so odd...why this delay? Is she seriously that lazy) So I called the courthouse on my cell phone when I was standing right in front of her, and the lady behind her answered. This is the only way to get things done; you have to both *be there* and call them at the same time. The same information I was able to get from the Everett Division in about 60 seconds, and I would imagine that is a much busier court. and that is the sad thing. at least their employees are competent. However, most of the cases were filed in this court, so I have to deal with them regarding release of information. It would've been helpful to learn that the person I was filing against was a convicted criminal, but they denied me that information. Thanks, but no thanks S Division. Explain it to Jesus on judgement day!!

Basically, you just walk in and (after going through some metal detectors) you're in... to the right is paperwork and to the left is courtrooms.

In my case, the courtroom doors were locked for about 15-20 minutes and I wasn't sure if I had missed out on my time or if they were calling names individually to enter or what (there were a lot of people loitering outside the room wondering the same thing). In the end, the courtroom doors opened and they let all moving violations people in at once. Overall, it was fast and easy and I was in and out in about 45 mins to an hour total.

Public Statement -- Courthouse Security Experience (Snohomish County, Oct 21 2025)…read more On October 21, 2025, around 11:40 a.m., I went through security at the Snohomish County Courthouse and was treated with unnecessary hostility by a courthouse deputy named D. Hart. I complied fully with every requirement but was met with sarcasm and a dismissive remark that "if I didn't like it, I didn't have to come there." For many citizens who must attend court, that attitude is unacceptable. I later tried to give calm, respectful feedback, but the deputy cut me off, activated his camera, and escalated the exchange instead of listening. I have filed a formal written complaint with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, but I'm sharing this publicly because people deserve to know how visitors are treated at their own courthouse. Encounters like this can discourage people from exercising their rights or fulfilling their legal obligations. If you experience similar behavior, please speak out and document it. Every report helps show that this is not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern that needs to be addressed. Professionalism and respect at the courthouse door should never be optional.

They will, then, tell you they ALWAYS keep everything that is confiscated. Not _held_ while you turn around, stolen.
