Hill

Gov. Bob Ferguson announced the appointment of Tyson R. Hill to the Washington State Court of Appeals, Division III — his first appellate appointment since taking office in January. Hill's appointment, effective Jan. 1, fills the position being vacated by Judge George Fearing's retirement that date. Hill has more than two decades of legal experience as a superior court and district court judge, judge pro tempore, appellate attorney and prosecutor. He has served more than four years in his current role as Grant County Superior Court Judge in Ephrata, appointed by Gov. Jay Inslee in 2021. He co-founded and presided over Grant County's first therapeutic drug court, and he has regularly served as a pro tem judge for the Court of Appeals, Division III. Prior to becoming a Superior Court Judge, Hill served more than seven years on the Grant County District Court bench. He also served four years as the Grant County Prosecutor's Office's lead appellate attorney, where he argued before Division III and the Washington State Supreme Court. Earlier in his career, he clerked for Washington State Supreme Court Justice James M. Johnson. Hill also worked as a consultant to the U.S. — China Economic & Security Review Commission. Hill earned his bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University and his law degree from the University of Washington.
