! NOTICE !

Due to Governor Inslee’s directive, issued March 23, 2020, related to COVID-19 and the current public health crisis, Pierce County District Court Judges are temporarily unable to perform weddings. We expect to re-evaluate the situation on April 24, 2020. We will continue to update this webpage as new information is received and decisions are made.
