Bothell 72 Hour Booking Search
Bothell 72 Hour Booking records cover arrests made by Bothell Police inside the city. Bothell is unusual because it sits across two counties. The south side is in King County and the north side is in Snohomish County. Where an arrestee is booked depends on the arrest location. Bothell Police hold the underlying reports for every case in city limits, no matter which county the arrestee is moved to. Use the King County and Snohomish County jail rosters to find a current inmate, then contact Bothell Police for the case file. Both county systems update online many times each day.

Tips for a Faster Bothell Booking Search
Start by asking which county the arrest happened in. The south side of Bothell is in King County. The north side is in Snohomish County. The street and the cross street tell you which side. If you do not know, run the name through both county rosters. Each roster updates many times each day.
Have the case number ready when you call Bothell Police. The number is on each charging paper and on the county roster. With a number, the records clerk can pull the file in one step. Without one, the search takes more time and may need a written request first. The Bothell Police records line is (425) 486-1254.
For older cases, the WSP criminal history tool covers convictions and pending charges from across the state. The fee is small and the turnaround is short. The DOC tools cover anyone who left a Bothell booking and went on to state prison. Use both for the full picture.
Court data is on the state portal. The portal has every Bothell Municipal Court case plus the Superior Court cases from both King and Snohomish County. Search by name or case number. The data is free and updates each day.
