King County Local Voters Pamphlet November 5, 2002 General Election KING CO DIST CT; BELLEVUE ELECTORAL DISTRICT JUDGE POS. NO. 03, 4 YR TERM /Exp.:06 Note to Voters: The statements below are written by the candidates, who are solely responsible for the contents therein. List of Candidates for JUDGE POS. NO. 03, 4 YR TERM /Exp.:06 Fred L. Yeatts /NP / Fred L. Yeatts /NP / In 1990, I was elected as one of three judges in the Bellevue District Court. In 1991, the nine separate district courts were consolidated and became divisions of the King County District Court. In 1994 and 1998, I was re-elected. This year I am, again, unopposed for re-election. My wife, Sheri, and I have lived in Bellevue for 31 years. We have two adult children, Liz and Matt, living nearby. Prior to becoming a judge, I served in the King County Prosecutor’s Office for 22 years. For five years, I served on active duty as an officer in the United States Army. My undergraduate and law degrees were from the University of Washington. The District Court is the court level closest to most people. The court handles criminal, traffic, civil and small claim cases. Personal perceptions of the legal system often result from contacts with this court. I believe that the court should provide justice for all participants in the legal system: litigants, lawyers, witnesses, victims and the community. Everyone should be treated with respect and dignity. Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to continuing to serve the citizens of King County.   Fred L.
