Superior Court Judge Doug North has nearly twenty years of experience as a trial judge in the King County Superior Court. He is also notable for his environmental work as the founder of the Northwest Rivers Council and service on the boards of Washington Wild and River Network. He has been rated as "exceptionally well-qualified" by several bar associations, including the King County Bar Association and "well-qualified" by several others, including Washington Women Lawyers.
The recent resurfacing of a troubling incident in North's courtroom has increased scrutiny on his campaign. He was formally admonished by the state Commission on Judicial Conduct for commenting from the bench that someone's race suggested the likelihood of whether they'd be a gangster. He both admitted to and apologized for the act, stating that he was aware how implicit bias could affect rulings and the court system.
