Judge Mark Chow has served the Seattle and King County community as district court judge since 1990, ensuring equitable access to justice for all members of the community, fair and reasonable treatment, and a dedication to service that puts a face to the judicial system for new residents, young people, and those most in need. He continues the legacy of the Chow family commitment to community service in Seattle.
"Mark has the qualities that make him an ideal judge: he is fair and compassionate; he is an actively engaged member of the community; and, he is forward-thinking and a problem solver. I am proud to endorse him and encourage you to re-elect Mark Chow for Seattle District Court Judge." - Rep. Sharon Tomiko Santos, 37th Legislative District
Mark's mother, Ruby Chow, was a pioneer in Seattle politics long before women of color would become part of elected government. From helping troubled youth, to assisting immigrants who lacked the ability to speak English, she was a tireless advocate on behalf of the disenfranchised. Mark continues this legacy with his work on the bench, providing access to justice for all Seattleites.
