Governor Ferguson appoints Thomas Webster to the Superior Court for Stevens, Pend Oreille and Ferry Counties

OLYMPIA - Today Governor Bob Ferguson announced the appointment of attorney Thomas Webster to the Superior Court for Stevens, Pend Oreille and Ferry Counties. Webster's appointment, effective Jan. 8, fills the position vacated by Judge Jessica Reeves, who retired from the bench Dec. 31, 2025.

Webster is a career litigator with more than two decades of legal experience. In 2009, he founded the Webster Law Office in Colville, which handles a broad range of civil matters and where he currently serves as Of Counsel following the offices' sale to GLP.

"Thomas Webster's extensive experience and commitment to fairness and justice make him an excellent addition to the bench of Stevens, Pend Oreille and Ferry Counties," Governor Bob Ferguson said.

"I look forward to serving the people of the Tri-Counties," Webster said.

Upon moving to Washington, Webster spent three years practicing at the law firm of McGrane & Schuerman in Colville. Prior to coming to Washington, Webster spent five years as a partner at Tingle Knight Webster & Juckett in Des Moines, Iowa.

Outside of the courtroom, Webster was a member of the Rotary Club of Colville from 2007 to 2025. He also taught a people's law course through his current law firm, where he presented seminars, facilitated legal workshops and authored course materials to help members of the public understand their legal rights and access the justice system.

Webster also enjoys spending time with his family outdoors, camping and flyfishing.

Webster earned his bachelor's degree from Cornell College and his law degree from Drake University.
