Welcome to the Grant County
Clerk’s Website! The
County Clerk serves the Superior Court and
the public as a result of having been elected by the citizens in Grant County to the position. The
Washington State constitution established the
County Clerk position to create a
separation of powers between the keeper of the court records and the judiciary.
Kimberly A. Allen is the current County Clerk elected in 2006 by the citizens of
Grant County.
The Grant County Clerk is responsible for
processing and managing all Superior Court records and financial transactions,
including Juvenile Court and Civil Commitment matters. The office provides
support staff for 3 Superior Court Judges and 1 Court Commissioner. The office
is committed to all relevant laws, rules and policies relating to judicial and
administrative procedures.
