On a map, the Channeled Scablands look like a couple of melting gray jellyfish draped across Eastern Washington. The jellyfish have fat and skinny tentacles that flow southwest from Spokane, wrapping around islands of wheat fields. The tentacles are geological scars, zones where water ripped away the topsoil thousands of years ago and left behind hard basalt. Across 15,000 square miles, between Spokane, Quincy and Walla Walla, the landscape is teeming with desolate cliffs, buttes and canyons.

The Spokane County Commission on Monday unanimously approved a $937 million budget for 2024. Perhaps most notably, the 2024 budget includes funding for a 13th Superior Court judge and three support staffers associated with that position – a judicial assistant, a court reporter and a clerk. Stakeholders throughout Spokane County’s criminal justice system for years have called for a 13th Superior Court judge, and argued a lack of judges is slowing down the legal system.
