My name is Therese Murphy. I’m the manager of Yakima County District Court. I’ve been managing the court since about 2011. My background actually is as a lawyer. I’ve been a practicing since 2001 primarily in the area of criminal law working as a prosecuting attorney in various counties in the state of Washington. I left that line of work and came to work for the district court judges here in Yakima in 2011. I also happen to be a judge in a small city in the Lower Valley in Yakima County as well.
