How Edmonds Arrests Happen
The Edmonds Police Department runs patrol, investigations, and community policing in south Snohomish County. When an officer makes an arrest, the person is taken to the Snohomish County Jail in Everett for booking. The booking process pulls prints, takes a mugshot, and logs the charges. Edmonds PD then files the arrest report back at 250 Fifth Avenue North.
Most Edmonds arrests are misdemeanors handled in the Edmonds Municipal Court. Felonies move to Snohomish County Superior Court. Either way, the county jail holds the booking photo and the initial arrest data. The court file sits with the court clerk.
You can look up court cases through the Washington Courts case search tool. Match the court case number with the booking number from the jail roster to tie it all together. The state Criminal Records Privacy Act at RCW Chapter 10.97 sets how conviction and non-conviction records stay on file.
Edmonds Booking at Snohomish County Jail
After an Edmonds Police officer makes an arrest, the suspect is driven to the Snohomish County Jail in Everett for booking. The trip from Edmonds to the jail takes roughly 25 minutes north on Interstate 5. At the jail, corrections staff take a booking photo, record fingerprints, and log the charges. Bail is set using a schedule for common offenses. For more serious charges, a judge sets bail at arraignment. The booking desk phone at the Snohomish County Jail can confirm if a person is in custody and what the bail amount is.
The mugshot taken during booking is the image that shows up on the jail register. It usually goes live within a few hours. Once the inmate is released, the entry can drop off the public page.
