Mary Robnett took office as the elected Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney in 2019. She first joined the prosecutor’s office in 1994 and worked her way up to Chief Criminal Deputy. Prior to that Robnett spent 10 years in the Special Assault Unit, which spurred her longtime involvement with the Sexual Assault Center of Pierce County.
Robnett prosecuted many prominent cases, including the Zina Linnik homicide, the Parkland Rapist, and Edgewood’s Craigslist murderers. Prior to her current role, she served in the Sexually Violent Predators unit of the state Attorney General’s Office.
Robnett and her husband Bill, a retired law enforcement officer, live in unincorporated Pierce County and enjoy hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities together with their two Labrador retrievers.
