Susan E Harness

Commissioner Harness demonstrated a profound lack of neutrality, legal rigor, and procedural fairness during my RCW 7.105 protection order hearing. Despite the statutory requirement for timely service and Snohomish County Administrative Order 38-22 clearly outlining evidence protocols, she permitted the petitioner to introduce last-minute materials without proper service, then forced me into a false dilemma: review the surprise evidence on the spot after hours in court, or waive my right to respond. That is not due process — that is a coerced waiver.

She is absolutely clueless. Picks who she is going to side with before oral arguments and nothing sways her from her opinion, not even evidence. Does not have the best interest of the child and honestly don't think she knows anything about the child welfare system. Clueless.

She's all over the place, extremely rude and disrespectful to everyone. Absolutely does not care about the best interest of the child. Way more interested in making sure all parents rights are served regardless of emotional impact on the chile.
