Ferndale Municipal Court to Resume May 29th

Ferndale Municipal Court to Resume May 29th

Starting May 29th, the Ferndale Municipal Court will hold court for the first time since Gov. Inslee’s “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” order went into effect. New sanitization and social distancing protocols will be in effect and participants will be required to wear a face covering. Those who arrive without face coverings will be provided one by the court.

“Justice is an essential function and I am relieved to be able to resume this important work,” said Judge Mark Kaiman. “We will be taking the steps necessary to move forward in a safe and responsible way.” Ferndale Municipal Court deals with cases relating to non-traffic and traffic infractions, criminal misdemeanors and gross misdemeanors.

Ferndale Municipal Court is held on Friday mornings at the City Annex, located at 5694 Second Ave, Ferndale.

Hearings that were scheduled for March 20th through April 24th are being rescheduled in the order they were originally received. For questions about a specific hearing, please contact the Court Clerk at 360.384.2827, or by email at info@ferndalecourts.org.

This week is National Public Works week and here at the City of Ferndale, we are so thankful for our hardworking team of public works professionals.

They deliver safe, clean drinking water to over 14,00 residents, maintain and repair hundreds of miles of road, sidewalk and utilities and protect us from rising flood waters. They help build our transportation infrastructure, and maintain our parks and playgrounds.

Everywhere you go in Ferndale, you can see their hard work in action. Please join us in giving them a heartfelt thank you for all they do on behalf of our community.
