Okanogan County Superior Court

Gov. Bob Ferguson appointed Winthrop resident Rachel Hong to the Okanogan County Superior Court. Hong's appointment fills the position that Judge Robert Grim's resignation will vacate. Hong is a litigation attorney and longtime federal judicial law clerk with more than two decades of legal experience, including more than 10 years at the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. As a career clerk to Judge Barbara Rothstein, Hong drafted hundreds of judicial rulings and supported courtroom proceedings from voir dire through jury instructions. In her legal practice, Hong has represented and guided individuals, corporations and public entities through criminal and civil cases in state and federal courts. She was a litigation attorney at Yarmuth Wilsdon Calfo and Heller Ehrman White & McAuliffe. Hong also volunteered as an attorney at the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project. Hong recently spent several years outside the courtroom as an organic farmer in Shelton, where she founded a small-scale organic vegetable farm. Hong has also served on the board of the TwispWorks Foundation, a nonprofit community development organization dedicated to supporting artists, small businesses and educational initiatives. Hong earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia and her law degree from University of Michigan Law School.
