The Municipal Court will exercise exclusive jurisdiction over criminal misdemeanors and gross misdemeanors arising under City ordinances, traffic infractions, parking infractions, and other matters authorized by law.

The Presiding Judge will lead the initial implementation of the Municipal Court and the establishment of court procedures, case-management systems, and judicial administrative processes. 
 
The Municipal Court Judge presides over and adjudicates a variety of hearings and trials relating to civil infractions and parking cases, criminal misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor cases in accordance with established legal procedures as prescribed by Washington State law; imposes appropriate sentences and penalties as prescribed by law; and maintains communication with other city, county, and state criminal-justice agencies.
