Governor Jay Inslee has appointed Jennifer E. Slattery to the Whatcom County Superior Court bench, the governor’s office announced on July 12.
Slattery will fill a fifth position the Washington state legislature created earlier this year. The position was created to help with a backlog of cases.
During her 15-year legal career, Slattery has focused on family law and general civil litigation, having operated her own firm, Kulshan Law Group, for the past seven years. She has also served as pro tem commissioner for Whatcom County Superior Court since 2023.
“Jennifer Slattery is dedicated to her community. She is respected, experienced, and well-prepared to serve Whatcom County in this role,” Inslee wrote in a statement. “I’m pleased that she will bring her integrity, work ethic, and compassion to the Whatcom County Superior Court bench.”
Outside of work, Slattery is a member of the Bellingham Sunrise Rotary Club, has served as a board director of Whatcom Community College Foundation and as a volunteer attorney.
Slattery earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington and law degree from Seattle University Law School.
