At 1 p.m. on Friday, July 2 friends, family, associates and county employees will gather in the Superior Court Room on the 2nd floor of the San Juan County Courthouse to dedicate a plaque honoring the late Superior Court Judge John Linde.
The proclamation, issued by the County Council in honor of Judge Linde, reads in part, “so that all who enter will know the significant contribution that the Honorable John O. Linde made to the furtherance of justice for the benefit of the citizens of this County.”
Linde served as a District Court Judge in San Juan County for 21 years. He was in private practice in Friday Harbor when Governor Christine Gregoire appointed him to be the first Superior Court Judge for the newly created San Juan County District in December 2007. He was elected to a full term in 2008.
Judge Linde died in December 3, 2009 at age 62.
