Accurate, defensible valuations
Every property valued by the numbers and the evidence — the same standard for a riverfront home and a back-road cabin alike.

Justin Moriarty
for Wahkiakum County Assessor
Precision, not politics.
A licensed, working appraiser who will value every property in Wahkiakum County fairly, accurately, and by the numbers — not by who you know.

What the Assessor actually does
The most important office most people never think about.
The Assessor puts a value on every home, farm, and business in the county. Those values decide how the property-tax bill gets split among all of us. Get them wrong — or play favorites — and your neighbors pay for it.
- Every home
- Every business
- Every public budget
Meet Justin
He does this for a living.
Justin Moriarty is a certified residential real property appraiser, licensed in Washington and Oregon. Over more than 13 years and 5,000-plus appraisals, he has built a reputation for valuations that are accurate, defensible, and fair.
He and his family made Wahkiakum County home in 2021, and he has served its taxpayers from the inside — on the county Board of Equalization, hearing neighbors' appeals, and within the Assessor's Office itself.
He is running for Assessor to bring that experience — and a steady, professional hand — to an office that touches every resident, every business, and every public budget in the county.
