Bothell Jail Roster Search

The Bothell jail roster is the booking log for people arrested in Bothell by the city police. Bothell is unusual because it sits in both King County and Snohomish County, so a booking can end up at either county jail. Use this page to find out which roster to search, how to look up a name, and how to track custody status after a Bothell arrest.

Bothell Arrests and Two County Jails

Bothell is split across the King and Snohomish county line. The south part of the city is in King County. The north part is in Snohomish County. When the Bothell Police Department makes an arrest, the officers choose the jail that matches the arrest location. That means a Bothell booking could go to the King County jail in Seattle or Kent, or to the Snohomish County Jail in Everett.

To search a Bothell jail roster, you may need to check both systems. Start with the one that matches the neighborhood. Or check both to be sure. The King County roster is at the King County DAJD page. The Snohomish County roster is at the Snohomish County Jail Register page.

The Bothell Police site links out to records and community resources. The screenshot below shows the page.

Use the page to file a public records request for a Bothell police report.

How to Search the Bothell Jail Roster

Start with a full name and the date of arrest if you know it. The date can tell you which jail to check. King County jails serve the south end of Bothell. Snohomish County serves the north end. If the arrest was near I-405 at the county line, check both.

The King County DAJD system shows the booking date, the housing unit, the charges, and the bail. The Snohomish County Jail Register shows the same core data in a different layout. Both tools list current inmates and recent bookings.

Note: Under RCW 70.48.100, every Washington jail must keep a public jail register, and that rule applies to both Bothell jail options.

Bothell Jail Records and Public Access

The Public Records Act in RCW 42.56 gives you the right to ask for jail records. File the request with the agency that holds the record. For the jail side, that is the King County DAJD or the Snohomish County Sheriff. For the police side, that is the Bothell Police Department. Each agency must reply within five business days.

The jail register is open to the public by default. The full inmate file is not. Medical records, mental health notes, and security plans are held back under state law. The rest of the booking log is fair game.

The Washington Department of Corrections runs the Incarcerated Search for state prison inmates. A Bothell arrest that ends in a prison term shows up on the DOC tool after sentencing. The DOC was set up under RCW 72.09.

Bothell Court Records

Use the Odyssey court portal to find the court case tied to a Bothell jail booking. Search by name. The portal shows the case number, the court, the next hearing, and the charges. Bothell city code cases go to the Bothell Municipal Court. Felony cases go to King County Superior Court or Snohomish County Superior Court based on where the arrest took place.

Pair the jail roster with the court docket. The roster shows where the person is held. The docket shows the next court date.

Custody Status Alerts for Bothell

The VINE service is the free statewide tool for custody status alerts. Sign up with a phone number. VINE sends a call, a text, or an email when the inmate is booked, moved, or released. VINE works with both King County and Snohomish County data, so a Bothell booking shows up no matter which jail holds the person.

For state prison cases, the DOC Victim Services Program at (800) 322-2201 offers extra notification help. For a Washington criminal history check, use the WATCH service from the State Patrol. The DOC Search Resources page lists more lookup tools.

Note: VINE can lag by a few hours, so call the county jail for the most current custody status of a Bothell inmate.

Two-County Booking Path in Bothell

Bothell sits across the line between King County and Snohomish County. That split shapes how the Bothell jail roster search works. A Bothell police arrest on the King County side lands at the King County Jail in Seattle or the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. An arrest on the Snohomish side lands at the Snohomish County Jail in Everett. Check both if you are not sure which side of the line the stop took place on.

The city also runs the Bothell Police Department, which handles the day-to-day patrol. Short holds may sit at the department before a move to a county bed. The Bothell jail roster you need may be the King County list one day and the Snohomish list the next. Keep both county links saved.

For court data tied to a Bothell case, use the Odyssey court portal. It pulls from district, municipal, and superior court data across most of Washington. For any move to state prison, use the DOC search.
