William Bayness

Thurston County District Court

Position Two

Thank you for reading all of the statements for this position. I am not part of the well established web of influence in the local legal community. Married for 35 years, seventeen years ago I agreed to scale down my legal career to focus on raising our daughter, now graduated with honors from Black Hills High School and South Puget Sound Community College. I proudly served six years in the U.S. Navy, attended The Evergreen State College and the University Of Puget Sound School Of Law. I have 23 years of legal experience: Private Practice, Thurston County Prosecutor’s Office, Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, City of Yelm Assigned Counsel, and City of Rainier Judge Pro Tem. This position is an excellent opportunity for me to protect and serve the men, women, and children of our community. In my courtroom you will be heard and treated with respect.
