The Washington State Supreme Court will visit and convene at Highline Community College on May 5-6.

On Monday, from 1:20 to 2:30 p.m., six justices will participate in a campus-wide forum in Building 7, hosted by HCC's Honors Department. Community members are invited to attend.

The court, with all nine justices, will sit in actual session on Tuesday to hear oral arguments on three cases, two in the morning and one in the afternoon. Live coverage by TVW will be provided.

The cases include No. 80532-6, Rental Housing Association of Puget Sound (appellant) v. City of Des Moines (respondent); No. 81067-2, City of Tukwila (petitioner) v. Garrett (respondent); and No. 80041-3, State (respondent) v. Puapuaga (petitioner).

In the first case, to be heard at 9 a.m., the court will be deciding whether Des Moines' initial denial of a public disclosure request triggered the one-year statute of limitations on judicial review of the city's action.

In the second case, heard at 10:15 a.m., the court will be ruling on whether the Tukwila Municipal Court can select jurors who live in zip codes that are not entirely in city limits and who do not, in fact, live in the city.

In the final case, heard at 1:30 p.m., the court will decide whether the state properly seized a hospitalized defendant's personal belongings for evidence.

The state's top court rarely visits community colleges, Highline officials said.

Over the past few years, the court has held sessions at Gonzaga, Central Washington University, and at the University of Washington and Seattle University law schools.
