What is Community Court?
(from https://www.olympiawa.gov/government/olympia_municipal_court/community_court.php)
Community Court is a non-traditional approach that works to provide practical, targeted solutions rather than traditional punishment.
Working together with community partners specializing in housing services, education, employment, chemical dependency, health care, licensing, mental health services, and veterans services we offer the individual a hand-up, with the goal of restoring the person and community.
