Washington's newest Supreme Court justice is sworn in
Colleen Melody is officially the Washington state Supreme Court’s newest justice.
Melody is replacing retired Justice Mary Yu, a trailblazing jurist appointed in 2014. Gov. Bob Ferguson appointed Melody in November.
She was formally sworn in Wednesday during a packed ceremony at the Temple of Justice in Olympia, and is the 100th justice in the history of the court.
“I raise my hand to serve in this role because I believe so strongly in all moments, but maybe particularly in this moment, Washingtonians deserve judges who will serve with integrity and humility and a deep respect for Washington’s independent role as a sovereign state,” Melody said.
