How the Thurston County Jail Roster Works

The Thurston County Corrections Facility runs intake, classification, and housing for the entire county. Most arrests in Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater come here for booking. The Olympia Police, Lacey Police, and Tumwater Police all post their own daily activity logs as well, which can confirm an arrest before the jail roster updates.

The county also runs a Law Library at the same Lakeridge Drive complex, in Building 2. It is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The library has free public computers you can use to run jail roster and court searches if you do not have a device at home.
