Thinking BIG, Grays Harbor County Superior Court was recently able to take advantage of the Satsop Business Park’s versatile and turnkey office space to begin holding in-person jury trials.

June 2021

The month-to-month lease began in April with the County utilizing over 20,000 square feet on both levels of the building in order to safely and adequately meet social distancing requirements to resume jury trials for the first time in several months.  The space is large enough that two jury trials can be held at the same time.

“We are pleased the County was able to take advantage of the large space and begin jury trials again,” shared Commissioner Phil Papac.  “Satsop’s unique and big infrastructure can be a fit for many types of operations and uses, as shown with the jury trials.” 

The Washington State Administrative Office of the Courts has approved COVID aid relief funding for the County through the end of July.
