Lynnwood Jail Mugshots Search
Lynnwood jail mugshots and booking records split between two places. Lynnwood runs its own municipal jail inside the police department building. For longer holds and most felony bookings, people move to the Snohomish County Jail in Everett. Both rosters feed into the countywide Snohomish County Jail Register. So when you search for a Lynnwood inmate, you can find them in one place even if they sit in the city jail short term. This page walks through how to look up a Lynnwood booking photo, request a police report, and work the records system the right way.
Lynnwood Overview
Lynnwood Jail Mugshots Sources
The Lynnwood Police Department serves the south end of Snohomish County. The station is at 19321 44th Avenue West, Lynnwood, WA 98036. Phone is (425) 407-3999. Office hours run Sunday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. After an arrest inside city limits, officers may book a suspect into the Lynnwood Municipal Jail for short-term holds. For longer cases, or when the city jail is full, the person is transferred to the Snohomish County Jail in Everett.
The municipal jail is inside the police department building. Inmate records for Lynnwood's city jail are rolled into the county roster. That makes the search process the same whether the person sits in the Lynnwood lockup or the county facility. The booking photo is taken at intake by corrections staff.
Snohomish County uses the jail register site hosted at jailregister.sno911.org. It pulls data from the Sheriff's Office and from municipal jails that feed into the system. Lynnwood's city jail is one of those.
Lynnwood Inmate Roster Lookup
Start at the Snohomish County Jail Register. That page links to the official inmate search form. Type in a last name or full name. The list shows current inmates, booking date, charges, bail info, and facility. Lynnwood Municipal Jail inmates show up alongside county jail inmates.
Use the search format Last Name, First Name or a partial name. If you know the booking date, it helps narrow results.
For Lynnwood Municipal Jail direct questions, call (425) 670-5600. Staff can confirm whether someone is in the city jail. They can also explain visiting, mail, and bail posting. Inmate info for the city jail is also listed on the shared Snohomish County roster, so you usually do not need to call first.
New bookings post through the day. If you cannot find someone right after an arrest, give it a couple of hours. Jail staff need time to complete intake and upload the record. Released inmates drop off the public roster but the booking photo stays in the official file. You can request the older photo through a public records request.
Note: The Snohomish County Jail Register pulls Lynnwood Municipal Jail data directly, so one search covers both city and county jail populations for the area.
Lynnwood Police Report Requests
For an arrest report tied to a Lynnwood booking photo, the city offers an online report portal. Details are on the Lynnwood Police Report and Record Request page. You can order a copy of a police report or an accident report through the portal.
Lynnwood Police can provide copies of incidents you were involved in inside city limits. You may be entitled to the entire report or only part of it. Reports must be picked up in person and you have to sign for them. Washington State accident report forms are available from the state patrol site or at the police department front counter.
For a full conviction history, call the Washington State Patrol WATCH service at 360-705-5100. That is a statewide lookup for criminal history records. Lynnwood bookings that end in convictions would show there. The city also uses GovQA for general citywide public records requests. That portal is at the Lynnwood Public Records Requests page run by the City Clerk.
For court records, call 425-670-5100. The Lynnwood Municipal Court handles misdemeanor cases that happen inside city limits. Felony cases move to Snohomish County Superior Court in Everett.
Lynnwood Arrest Records and State Law
Most Lynnwood arrests follow RCW 10.31.100, the state's warrantless arrest rules. An officer can arrest a person caught in the act or in many other defined cases. The suspect is then driven to the municipal jail or the county jail for booking. The booking photo becomes part of the jail record at that point.
The jail register is public under RCW 70.48.100. This is the statute that makes daily jail logs a matter of public record. The register must include basic info on every person in custody. Snohomish County follows this rule by posting its register online for free public access. Lynnwood's data sits in that same pool.
The Washington Public Records Act drives access to arrest reports and booking photos. Under RCW Chapter 42.56, agencies must release most records unless an exemption applies. Juvenile bookings, open investigations, and certain victim info are common exceptions. For older or sealed records, look at RCW Chapter 10.97, which covers criminal records privacy.
Lynnwood Booking Photos Tips
Searching the jail register is easier if you know the approximate booking date and the full name. Partial names work but may return a long list. If a suspect has a common name, add more detail. The system is the same one used by Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Marysville, and other south Snohomish County cities.

For bail posting or visitation at the Lynnwood Municipal Jail, call the jail line at (425) 670-5600. Staff will walk you through current rules. The municipal jail is smaller than the county jail, so intake and release can be faster for local cases.
