PORT ANGELES — Clallam County Superior Court Judge Ken Williams, 65, will not seek re-election and is retiring at the end of this year after 20 years on the bench.
“When I first ran for judge in 1992, my hope, if the voters selected me, was that I would be able to serve for 20 years before I retired,” Williams said in a statement. “That time has passed quickly.”
Williams said in an interview that he does not plan to get a full-time job but would be willing to fill in as judge pro tem.
“I’ll be a full-time grandpa for my four grandkids,” Williams said.
Superior Court Judge George L. Wood, 62, said today that he will seek re-election to a sixth term.
And the third Superior Court judge, S. Brooke Taylor, said he was undecided about running for a second full term.
Filing week for the Nov. 6 general election is May 14-18.
