List of Candidates for
JUDGE POS. NO. 01, 4 YR TERM /Exp.:06

Douglas J. Smith /NP /

I was a deputy prosecutor for five years in the King County Prosecutor’s Office. After seven years of criminal defense and private practice, I became a pro tem judge at Shoreline District Court. In 1989, I was appointed to the first of three terms as municipal judge for Lake Forest Park. In 1990, I was elected Shoreline District Court Judge, re-elected in 1994 and 1998.

I have consistently been highly rated among (the top 10) district and municipal judges in King County.

I wish to continue to serve my community in this office and to address the very real budget crisis affecting the district courts and all levels of our judiciary.

We’re committed to providing the best possible services to the community and to make the court available to our teachers and excellent mock trial and student court teams at Shorewood and Shorecrest high school.

My wife, Judy, and I have four sons, three daughters-in-law, five grandchildren. I have been a coach, reader mentor, Rotarian, parishioner and runner. I currently serve on the board of the Shoreline YMCA. Thank you for your continued support and confidence.

CAMPAIGN ADDRESS: 4013 N.E. 186th, Lake Forest Park, WA 98155 TELEPHONE: 206.364.9659
