King County Jail Roster
Kirkland arrests are booked into the King County Jail. The jail uses a public lookup tool called JILS, run by the Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention. JILS is at the King County website. You can search by name and see current bookings, charges, bail, and which jail facility holds the inmate. Most Kirkland bookings show up at the downtown Seattle facility.
JILS updates as people are booked, moved, or released. Public access to this list is required by RCW 70.48.100. The state Public Records Act, RCW 42.56, covers the broader request process.
Note: Kirkland Municipal Court at the same Kirkland Police address handles arraignments and city case hearings, while felony cases go to the King County Superior Court.

Some details are blocked under RCW 10.97, the Criminal Records Privacy Act. Juvenile arrests, sealed cases, and certain victim data are not part of the public booking log. Staff redact those before releasing a copy.

Kirkland is one of the larger cities on the east side of Lake Washington. It sits next to Bellevue, Redmond, and Bothell. Kirkland Police share regional task forces with these neighbors, so a Kirkland booking can sometimes start with an arrest by an officer from another city. The booking still goes to the King County Jail, and the agency listed in JILS is the one that made the arrest. Always check the arresting agency line when reading a Kirkland booking record.
Kirkland Municipal Court is at the same address as the Kirkland Police Department. You can call (425) 587-3400 to check on a hearing. Most first appearances for misdemeanor cases happen here. Felony cases tied to a Kirkland arrest go to King County Superior Court, which has facilities in downtown Seattle and at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. The Find My Court Date tool is the fastest way to track which courthouse a case is in.
Note: Always confirm a Kirkland booking with JILS or Kirkland Police records before relying on a third-party source, since data updates several times a day.
