Three of the seats on our state’s Supreme Court will be on the ballot next week. Two of them have incumbent justices running unopposed;  the race Washington voters will actually decide is for Washington Supreme Court Position 2.

The incumbent, Justice Susan Owens, who turned 75 in August, is aging out of the position because of a rule in the state’s constitution.  

The position is non-partisan, so you won’t see any party labels next to the candidates’ names - but don’t worry, we’re here to help you make that decision without the “D” or “R” shorthand. 

Soundside is talking to both candidates vying for the seat this week. Today, we're interviewing Judge Dave Larson. Larson has been a judge for the Federal Way Municipal Court since 2008.

Guest:

• Judge Dave Larson, candidate for Washington Supreme Court Position 2.
