Okanogan Corrections Center Roster
The Okanogan County Corrections Center is a 183-bed medium security adult facility. It was built in 1984 and expanded in 2000, 2002, and 2003. The jail address is 149 North 4th Avenue, Okanogan, WA 98840. Corrections phone is 509-422-7272. The roster is alphabetized by last name.

To check Okanogan County jail mugshots or roster status, you should know:
- Full name of the inmate
- Date of birth
- Approximate arrest date
- Inmate ID if you have it
Visitation is set at two free lobby visits per inmate per week, 15 minutes per visit. Visits must be scheduled 24 hours in advance and confirmed by the inmate. On-site times are Fridays 1:00 to 4:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday 8:00 to 11:00 am and 1:00 to 4:00 pm. All visits are video-based. That is a key shift from older in-person rules. Call ahead if you have questions about the schedule.
Okanogan County Jail Booking Log
The Okanogan County Jail Booking Log is posted in Adobe Acrobat PDF format by the Sheriff's Office. The log shows individuals booked into the jail. Fields include name, date, time, and charges. Jail staff update the log regularly. It is a fast way to confirm a recent arrest when the subject has just been booked.
For questions on a specific booking, call the jail directly. Historical booking logs may be available through a public records request. Write the request to the Sheriff's records unit. Give the date range and the name. The office has five business days to respond, though big requests may take longer. The register of bookings is kept under RCW 70.48.100 and is open for public inspection.
The PDF format is simple. Open it in any web browser. Scroll or search by name. If the log does not show a booking you expected, call the corrections center. Sometimes a booking posts late. Other times the person has already been released. Either way, the jail staff can confirm the status.
Court Records and Clerk Office
The Okanogan County Clerk keeps records for the county. The address is PO Box 980, 149 N. Third Avenue, Room 306, Okanogan, WA 98840. Phone is 509-422-7170 and fax is 509-422-7124.

Okanogan County Superior Court and District Court both operate at 149 N 3rd Ave. Superior Court phone is 509-422-7170. City police departments in Omak, Tonasket, Brewster, and Oroville also make arrests that end up at the Corrections Center. The case info, charge sheet, and court dates link back to the jail booking for each person arrested in the county.
Some court files may be sealed under state rules or under RCW 10.97, the Criminal Records Privacy Act. Jail mugshots may still be released even when case details are limited. That depends on the specific exemption at issue. Ask the Clerk or Sheriff to explain which records apply.
