Summary: The Commission had reason to commence an investigation based upon information that former Commissioner Harry Slusher of the King County Superior Court maintained an undisclosed social relationship with a witness for a party in a matter pending before him. This relationship raised, at a minimum, the appearance of impropriety. Pursuant to a stipulation, former Commissioner Slusher agreed that he would not seek or serve in any position performing judicial functions without Commission approval, and the Commission agreed to close the matter without further proceedings.
