[WSBARP] Can you disqualify a court commissioner?

All - I have an interesting quiet title action where the entire Superior
Court bench recused themselves because my client is an elected official for
the county where the litigation is taking place. The judges selected a
court commissioner to handle the case. The court commissioner is new to the
bench, inexperienced in civil litigation, and has displayed bias in
previous rulings against me. I want the Commissioner disqualified, but I do
not want to escalate things unnecessarily. However, is it even possible to
disqualify a court commissioner? I have heard it is not, but I am in need
of authority one way or the other.

Thanks!
-Tom
