The Pendleton County court is the Pendleton branch of the Umatilla Circuit court.

Pendleton has come a long way from when Native American Tribes in the area welcomed Lewis & Clark. Pendleton is proud of its new Convention Center. Its 24,000 square feet of floor space can accommodate up to 5,000 people. The world famous Pendleton Woolen Mills have been in business for over 80 years. The mill turns out distinctive Indian-inspired robes and shawls as well as fabric for clothing and home products. Tours of the factory are available, where you will get to see spinning machines and the shuttles of the automatic looms, with a gift shop waiting for visitors at the end. The Wildhorse Gaming Resort provides a venue for those with the gaming spirit to enjoy an evening.

Presiding judge is Hon. Garry L Reynolds.
