Thurston County

Official roster status: Published current roster

Roster type: Combined official Title 11 Court Visitor/GAL registry and Title 26 Family Law GAL registry. Source date: Not stated. Last reviewed: August 12, 2026.

Thurston County Superior Court’s official pages explicitly identify a Title 11 Court Visitor/GAL Registry and a Title 26 Family Law GAL Registry, state that the listed professionals are approved for court appointment, and publish the names and contact details above. The pages do not state a publication or update date, so current status is based on the live official pages retrieved on August 12, 2026; availability and appointment status must be confirmed with Court Administration.

What to do next: use the official roster

Thurston County publishes an official roster. Work from the court's own page, then confirm availability before you rely on any name.

1. Open the official source below and read the roster as the court publishes it.
2. Call or email the Superior Court administrator to confirm the person is still on the registry and accepting appointments.
3. Ask the court how appointments are made in this county — a roster listing is not an appointment or a referral.
4. Report anything that has changed so the source record can be corrected.
