Yakima Municipal Court is restoring services and will resume taking payments at the window and online starting tomorrow, Tuesday, November 19th. The court’s database system is back online today, Monday.
“We are working through the backlog of cases and some services will remain limited throughout today,” Yakima Municipal Court Judge Aryn Masters said.
Yakima Municipal Court had been operating with limited services and only essential court functions since November 4th. That was due to the shutdown of the statewide Judicial Information System (JIS) database when unauthorized activity was detected on the network. The network was taken offline to secure the system and restore service.
“Yakima Municipal Courts appreciates the public’s patience with court staff as we work through the backlog from the two-week outage and restore normal service,” Masters said.
Those with scheduled court hearings should plan to attend unless otherwise notified.
