Frank Dacca, 70, is hanging up his robe as a Pierce County District Court judge. Dacca announced he won’t run for re-election this fall for the seat he has held since 2004.

Raised on his parents’ vegetable farm in Fife, Dacca graduated from Fife High School and the University of Washington and served in the Army Reserves for six years. In 1973, he received his law degree from the University of California-Davis, where also he met his future spouse, Terry Mosher.  They moved to Gig Harbor in 1977 and raised their sons, Ryan and Joe.
