The office is a highly technical office performing legal, clerical, and accounting functions to contribute to prompt and accurate processing of criminal, civil, domestic, probate, adoption, mental illness, paternity and juvenile proceedings.

All monies deposited with the Court for the benefits of litigants or minors are disbursed or invested by the Clerk. This clerk processes appeals from lower courts and prepares cases for processing at the Court of Appeals and the Washington State Supreme Court. The Clerk issues Court process in the form of bench warrants, executions on judgments, abstracts, attachments, garnishments and subpoenas. The clerk is the jury administrator for the court and issues summons for jurors to appear for jury duty.
