ELLENSBURG — Washington Supreme Court will be traveling to Ellensburg to hear cases at Central Washington University on Thursday.

The three cases to be heard focus on tribal property taxes, staffing at Western State Hospital and Washington’s First Amendment

Oral arguments begin at 9 a.m. in the McIntyre Music Building. The public is invited to hear the arguments and participate in a question-and-answer session between cases.

The justices also plan to meet with students during their lunch break.

Since 1985, the Supreme Court has heard cases several times a year outside of Olympia to allow citizens to see the court in action in their local communities.
