Mount Vernon Police Booking Process
The Mount Vernon Police Department is at 1805 Continental Place, Mount Vernon, WA 98273. The phone is (360) 428-3211. Officers patrol the city and the surrounding neighborhoods. When they make an arrest, the suspect is moved to the Skagit County Community Justice Center on Suzanne Lane. The center handles intake, booking, holding, and the public roster for the entire county. The phone for the jail is (360) 416-1995.
The Mount Vernon Municipal Court is also at 1805 Continental Place, with a court phone of (360) 336-6205. The court handles city ordinance and traffic cases. Felonies and major cases go to Skagit County Superior Court. Knowing which court has the file matters when you want to follow a case past the booking stage. The 72 hour booking record only shows the intake step. The court file shows the rest.
Mount Vernon Police uses a public records request form for the underlying reports. The records unit is at the same Continental Place address. You can call ahead to ask about the report number and the case status before you submit a written request.
Mount Vernon 72 Hour Booking Search
Start with the Skagit County Sheriff. The Sheriff runs the Community Justice Center in Mount Vernon and keeps the online roster for the entire county. You can search recent bookings by name, scan the in-custody list, or look up someone by their booking number if you have it. The roster shows the booking date, the housing site, the listed charges, and the bail amount. Most Mount Vernon arrests show up there fast.
The data also feeds the WASPC statewide pipeline. The JBRS booking system pulls daily intake numbers from agencies across the state. That gives you a wider view if you do not know which county a person was booked in. Skagit County reports its numbers like other counties in the state.
Below is the Mount Vernon Police Department main page, the agency that arrests people in the city. Visit the live page on the Mount Vernon city site for current contact info.
From there, every arrest moves to the Skagit County jail for formal intake.

What the Booking Record Shows
The booking line is short. It shows full name, date of birth, booking date and time, the housing facility, the listed charges, and the bail. It is a snapshot of intake. It is not a verdict. It does not mean the person did what police say. The state law on jail records, RCW 70.48.100, requires every jail to keep this kind of register and make most of it open to the public.
Charges can shift after the prosecutor reviews the case. Some get dropped. Others get added. The 72 hour booking line is the first version of the file. The court docket is the next stop. If the person bails out, the roster line will fall off the active list, but the booking record itself stays in the system.
Note: Most Mount Vernon bookings show on the Skagit County roster within a few hours of intake at the Suzanne Lane facility.
