INSTRUCTIONS:

LOG IN: From your electronic device you may install the Zoom application or log in through your web browser at zoom.us/join. Enter the Meeting ID from your notice of hearing at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled hearing time to test your connection and make yourself available to speak to your attorney. If you only have a telephone you can still dial into the hearing by calling 1-253-215-8782 using the same Meeting ID . The parties can hear you but not see you at the hearing and you can hear those participating.

1. APPEAR: You will be muted until your case is called or until your attorney needs to speak with you. Your hearing will proceed as if you were in the courtroom.

2. LEAVE: You are required to remain on Zoom until your case is called, completed and you are excused. If you leave Zoom before your case is resolved, you will be considered a failure to appear and a bench warrant may be issued for your arrest.

If you are unable to attend this hearing utilizing Zoom, please contact the Court Clerk’s office at 360 863-4548 or contact your attorney for assistance.

Prior to your court appearance we highly recommend you download Zoom to your mobile device or PC you intend to use for your court appearance and verify your microphone/speakers work properly. https://zoom.us/support/download
