Jefferson County has a new Superior Court Judge, and he doesn’t have far to go. On Tuesday, Gov. Inslee announced the appointment of Brandon Mack to the Jefferson County Superior Court. He will replace Judge Keith Harper, who plans to retire at the end of January.

Mack currently serves as a full-time family law court commissioner in the Clallam County Superior Court, a position he has held since 2019. From 2009 to 2019, Mack worked in the Attorney General’s Office.

Mack is described as an engaged member of the community on the Olympic Peninsula. He volunteers with the local Habitat for Humanity organization, and he also coaches the Port Townsend High School Mock Trial team. From 2014 to 2019, he volunteered with the Clallam and Jefferson County Pro Bono Lawyers Association, serving as a board member with the organization in 2018.
