Pacific County Sheriff and Jail

The Pacific County Sheriff's Office runs the Pacific County Jail in South Bend. The sheriff books new arrests, holds pre-trial inmates, and houses those sentenced to short terms. The jail register is the core source for the Pacific County jail roster. Staff log each booking, the cause, and the release. This log is open to the public under state law.

Pacific County covers a wide stretch of the southwest Washington coast. Arrests made in Raymond, Long Beach, Ilwaco, and the rural parts of the county all flow into the same jail. Each booking gets an entry in the register. If the person is moved to a state prison after sentencing, the trail picks up in the Washington DOC system.

Note: The sheriff's records desk can help when the online roster has no match or when you need a booking from a past date.

How to Search the Pacific County Jail Roster

Start with the Pacific County website and click through to the sheriff's page. The jail roster link is posted there. Type the last name of the person you want to find. Scan the list. Pull the booking page to see the charges, bail, and housing status. If the roster is thin or down, call the sheriff's office.

You can also set up free alerts through VINE. VINE is the state-wide victim notification network. It sends a call, text, or email when an inmate's custody status changes. This works for Pacific County jail bookings and state prison transfers. Sign up takes a few minutes. Keep your PIN safe.

If the name does not match, try a few things. Check the spelling. Try just a last name. Try a middle name or a short version of the first name. New bookings can take a few hours to post. A release removes the name from the roster right away. For a full history, send a public records request to the sheriff under RCW 42.56.

The Pacific County Sheriff page is the first stop for a roster link and a booking photo if one is posted. The sheriff also posts news about jail visits and bail rules.

What the Pacific County Jail Roster Shows

The Pacific County jail roster follows the format set in RCW 70.48.100. State law says the jail must log the name of each person held, the hour and date of the booking, the cause, and the hour, date, and manner of release. That is the core of the public Pacific County jail roster.

A typical entry on the Pacific County jail roster lists:

Inmate name and age
Booking date and time
Holding facility or cell block
Charges filed at booking
Bail or bond amount when set
Court date when one is on file

Medical, mental health, and security data are not on the public roster. The full inmate file is held in confidence. It is only shared with criminal justice agencies or with the written consent of the inmate. That rule comes from the same state law that opens the jail register.

Note: The Pacific County jail roster does not show sealed juvenile cases or confidential medical notes tied to a booking.

Pacific County Public Records Requests

For older Pacific County jail roster data, file a request with Pacific County Public Records. Under the Public Records Act in RCW 42.56, the county must reply within five business days. The reply may be the record, a denial, or a time estimate. You do not need to give a reason for the request.

Write a short note that names the inmate and the booking dates you want. Send it by mail, email, or online form. Some requests cost a small copy fee. Bulk lists for commercial use are not allowed. News use is not commercial use.

If the record is held by a state agency and not the county, send the request to the Washington DOC Public Records Office. The DOC handles state prison files and supervision data that fall outside the county jail register.

State Tools for Pacific County Inmate Searches

The Washington DOC Incarcerated Search is the right tool for a person moved out of the Pacific County jail and into a state prison after sentencing. Search by name or DOC number. The system shows current facility, age, and case status. It does not show local jail bookings.

For a full criminal history in Washington, use WATCH from the State Patrol. This is the official source for conviction data. To track court dates tied to a name from the Pacific County jail roster, use the Odyssey court portal. It shows district and municipal court case data across the state.

The DOC Search Resources page is a good one-stop for state and federal lookup tools. The Washington DOC was set up under RCW 72.09, which lays out the role of the state corrections system.
