Washington State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen, the first woman elected to the court and first to serve two terms as chief justice, announced her retirement effective April 3, 2026.
Her departure adds to major turnover on the court, with three justices set to leave by next year due to retirement or non-re-election.
Governor Bob Ferguson will appoint her successor by April 3, with the appointee facing a retention election in 2026 to complete Madsen’s term, which ends in January 2029.
