Vernon Court Reporters is pleased to announce that we have been officially approved by Skamania County Superior Court in Stevenson, Washington, to prepare verbatim reports of proceedings and appellate transcripts pursuant to GR 35 and RAP 9.2. This approval is a meaningful milestone for us — and for attorneys, litigants, and self-represented parties in one of Washington’s most scenic and unique judicial districts.
Skamania County, nestled along the Columbia River Gorge in the southern Cascades, operates as part of a shared judicial district with neighboring Klickitat County. The two counties share a single Superior Court judge, who alternates weekly between the Stevenson courthouse and Klickitat County’s seat in Goldendale. Vernon Court Reporters is now approved in both counties, making us a seamless choice for attorneys and parties with matters in either jurisdiction.

Why the Skamania/Klickitat Judicial District Deserves Specialized Attention
Rural judicial districts present unique challenges for appellate work. Cases in Skamania and Klickitat counties often involve complex felony proceedings, family law disputes, and civil matters where the record on appeal is the only window into what happened at the trial level. An incomplete or inaccurate transcript can leave an appellate court without the context it needs — and leave your client without a meaningful opportunity to be heard.
Vernon Court Reporters has deep experience with the demands of rural Washington court transcription. We work with recordings from a variety of systems, including the FTR (For The Record) and JAVS digital recording platforms commonly used in smaller county courthouses. Whether the audio is clear or challenging, our certified transcriptionists work carefully to produce an accurate, complete record.
