Lewis County Superior Court

Last updated on November 23, 2025

Lewis County Superior Court supports remote participation for many calendars using WebEx, while certain matters still require in-person appearance. The Clerk provides e-filing through eFileWA, and local rules and court notices govern technical and procedural requirements.

Technology Overview

Remote Appearances (WebEx):
Superior Court’s video-appearance platform is WebEx. The Court notes that some hearings require personal appearance and provides courtroom/department links for eligible calendars. Periodic notices announce updated meeting links; participants should always use the current “Video Appearance Links” page.
