What is Community Court?

Community Court is a non-traditional, therapeutic approach that works to provide practical, targeted solutions rather than traditional punishment in cases involving low level offenses.

Working together with community service partners specializing in housing services, education, employment, chemical dependency, health care, licensing, mental health services, and veteran services,   we connect participants with the resources needed to restore them and the community. 

When Does Community Court Meet?

Renton Municipal Community Court (RMCC) has partnered with Issaquah Municipal Community Court (IMCC) and meets every Thursday at 10:30am. Participants appear in their respective courts first, then a Virtual Resource Center (VRC) is offered starting at 12:30pm. The partnership between RMCC and IMCC allows us to offer a wider variety of service partners, share valuable resources and encourages collaboration that is beneficial to both cities.
