Yakima Municipal Court Unable to Process Payments Due to Outage

The Yakima Municipal Court is currently unable to process payments online or at its physical location due to a statewide outage affecting the Judicial Information System (JIS) database. According to officials at Yakima Municipal Court they're working now to correct the problem.

THE PROBLEM STARTED MONDAY AFTERNOON

Yakima Municipal Court is operating with limited services, handling only essential functions following the shutdown initiated on Monday by the state’s Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC). The AOC shut down the JIS due to a security concern after discovering unauthorized activity on the Washington Courts network. In response, they are working swiftly to secure critical systems and restore services, though officials warn that intermittent accessibility issues may happen over the coming days.
