Washington voters will decide next week is who will fill the lone open seat on the Washington Supreme Court.

Supreme Court Position 2 is an open race - the incumbent, Justice Susan Owens, is retiring at the end of this year due to the state constitution’s requirement that all justices retire after the year they turn 75. The position is non-partisan.

Soundside is talking to both candidates vying for the seat on the state's highest court. Up first: attorney Sal Mungia.

Mungia is a partner at Gordon Thomas Honeywell, a law firm based in Seattle and Tacoma. He has specialized in medical malpractice, serious injury, personal injury and real estate litigation. He has also served as the President of the Washington State Bar Association.

Guest:

Sal Mungia, candidate for Washington Supreme Court Position 2.
