How the Edmonds Booking Log Works

A 72 hour booking log lists every person booked into custody in the past three days. The list lives at the jail. In Edmonds, that means the Snohomish County Jail roster shows the city bookings. Once a person bonds out or moves to a long term facility, they may drop off the 72 hour list. The case file at the city stays put.

State law sets the basic rules for what jails must share. Under RCW 70.48.100, the booking log is a public record. Names, charges, dates, and release info are all open. Some items are kept back for active cases.

If a person was sent to state prison after the city case wrapped up, switch to the DOC inmate search. Active warrants show up on the DOC warrant search.

What an Edmonds Booking Record Shows

The standard booking record shows the inmate name, age, booking date and time, charges, and the agency that made the arrest. Most records also show a booking photo and a case number. The Snohomish County roster also shows the holding location and the bail amount when set.

Common fields you may see:

• Full legal name and aliases
• Booking date and time
• Charges and bond amount
• Holding facility
• Court date if scheduled

For the full police report, you have to file a public records request with the Edmonds Police Department. Reports cost about $0.15 per page. Large requests may need a deposit before staff start the search.

Searching Edmonds Court Records

Edmonds Municipal Court handles low level cases. Felonies move to Snohomish County Superior Court. You can search court records online through the Odyssey Portal or the wider Washington Courts site. To find a hearing by name, use Find My Court Date.

Court records hold more detail than the booking log. A docket may show the plea, the bail, the lawyer of record, and the final order. Court files are public under RCW 42.56, with limits set by RCW 10.97 on criminal history.

Public Records Requests in Edmonds

To get the full report on an Edmonds arrest, file a public records request with Edmonds Police Records. The state PRA gives anyone the right to ask for these records, with a few limits for active cases. The city must reply within five business days.

Send the request to Edmonds Police Records at 250 5th Avenue N., Edmonds, WA 98020. List the names, dates, and case number if you have one. There is no need to give a reason for the request.

Fees follow the state schedule. Plain copies run about fifteen cents per page. Audio and video files may cost more. Staff give you a fee estimate before they pull the records. The MRSC public records guide covers what you can ask for and what may be held back under RCW 4.24.550.

Edmonds Jail Transport and Holding

Edmonds Police do not run a long term jail. After booking at the city station, most arrestees are moved to the Snohomish County Jail in Everett. The county jail is the main holding spot for the area, and it keeps the live custody data for Edmonds cases. Transport time is short. The drive from Edmonds to the jail takes about 20 minutes by car.

For people held briefly at the city before transport, the booking record still ends up at the county jail. So even if a person spends a few hours at the Edmonds PD station, the booking log lands in both spots. Always check the county jail first if you want a live status. The city is the right call for the police report itself and for any property held during the arrest.

Bail bond agents work with both offices. Most bonds are posted at the Snohomish County Jail in Everett, since that is where the person is held. Check with the court first to confirm the amount and case number. Court orders may add a no contact rule or other terms tied to release.

The records desk at Edmonds Police can also tell you which court will hear the case. Some bookings end up at the city court and some move to county court. The court that handles the case sets the next hearing date and any bond review.

State Booking and Court Resources

Some Edmonds booking data feeds the JBRS system run by WASPC. JBRS is for law enforcement, but the data shapes most public roster tools. Federal cases run through PACER. If an Edmonds arrest leads to a federal charge, the file moves to the U.S. District Court in Seattle.

Tips for Searching Edmonds Booking Records

Start with a name and a rough date. The Snohomish County Jail roster works best when you know how the person spells their first and last name. If you only have a nickname, the search may miss them. Use the full legal name when you can.

If you cannot find a name on the county roster, try the city records desk next. Edmonds Police can confirm an arrest even when the person is no longer in the jail. They can also point you to the right court for the case file. Keep notes as you go, since you may need to bounce between the jail, the city, and the court to track a single booking from start to finish.
