Gov. Jay Inslee announced the short-term appointments of two judicial candidates who were elected to their positions in the November 2024 general election: Sal Mungia, as justice to the Supreme Court, and Mason County Superior Court Commissioner Tirsa Butler as judge to the Mason County Superior Court. Mungia won his campaign to succeed retiring Justice Susan Owens, and Butler won her campaign to succeed retiring Mason County Superior Court Judge Daniel Goodell. Both Justice Owens and Judge Goodell retire effective Dec. 31. By statute the newly elected judicial officers' terms do not begin until Jan. 13. Both candidates requested this short-term appointment so they can begin their work early. These appointments will run from Jan. 1 through Jan. 12, 2025.
