Delivering Working Copies to the Court

If you need to deliver working copies to the court, please observe the following protocols. Note that working copies are NOT the official copies of your court documents. Those must be filed FIRST in the Superior Court Clerk's Office. Working copies are the documents judges and commissioners use to familiarize themselves with your case.

Do not deliver documents to the courtroom. You may either submit working copies electronically through the Clerk's Office e-filing application(except for any document of 500 pages or more in length which must be delivered in paper form) or deliver them to the judge's mail room.
For judges assigned to the King County Courthouse (Seattle) and the Youth Services Center / Juvenile Court (Seattle) the mail room is:

King County Courthouse
516 3rd Avenue, Room C-203
Seattle, WA 98104

For judges assigned to the Maleng Regional Justice Center (Kent), the mail room is:

Maleng Regional Justice Center
401 4th Avenue North, Room 2D

Please obtain prior approval from the court before faxing or e-mailing documents/pleadings.
Follow the local court rules for pagination of documents.
Copies of orders will not be mailed unless pre-addressed stamped envelopes are provided. If no envelopes were provided, copies of orders may be obtained from the Clerk's Office approximately five (5) days after a ruling has been issued.
