Snohomish County, Washington Inmate Search

An inmate search is a public search tool (often referred to as a jail roster) that helps individuals find out whether someone is currently in custody and, when available, view basic booking and housing information. In Snohomish County, the County Sheriff’s Office manages local jail custody and provides a Jail Inmate Search for finding individuals incarcerated in the Snohomish County Jail. The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Bureau Jail Inmate Search yields information on individuals housed in the County Jail as well as those held in custody in the municipal jails in Lynnwood and Marysville.

At the state level, requesters typically search for individuals incarcerated in Washington state prisons using the Washington State DOC’s Incarcerated Data Search. The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) offers a separate federal inmate locator if the person is in federal custody.

Unlike some incorporated, large-city departments that operate their own jail rosters, police departments in Snohomish County typically do not. For instance, the Everett Police Department (like many police departments in counties) does not run its inmate roster; arrested individuals are booked into the Snohomish County Jail. However, an exception to the rule is the Marysville Police Department (MPD). Although Marysville is part of the Snohomish County Jail Register system, the MPD maintains a separate jail roster (Marysville Jail Inmate Inquiry) for individuals booked into the Marysville Municipal Jail.

Searches conducted via the Snohomish County Jail Inmate Search typically yield extensive details, including identification details, custody status, booking, release history, and more. Queries concerning municipal jails, such as Marysville and Lynnwood, often reveal housing locations and direct questions to the specific municipal jail facilities.

How to Find an Inmate in Snohomish County Jail

In Snohomish County, the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Bureau manages custody at the Snohomish County Jail. Requesters seeking inmate information on who is currently in jail custody may use the county’s Jail Register. The step-by-step process of using the Jail Register to find someone housed at the County Jail is as follows:

1. Visit the Snohomish County Sheriff’s website and click on "Correction." From the expanded section, click on "Jail Register & Bail Information" (the county’s official hub for the current Jail Register).
2. Select the "NWS Jail Register" webpage (the inmate search portal).
3. Search using the fields the portal supports, such as name, booking number, in-custody status, booking date range, housing facility (use this to narrow results to the Snohomish County Jail), and offsite housing (if available).
4. Click search and open the matching result. Please verify the housing location indicated in the inmate summary. Each summary includes where the person is currently housed.

It is worth noting that the Jail Register includes municipal jail inmates for Lynnwood and Marysville in addition to the Snohomish County Jail. Therefore, using the housing facility filter (or checking the housing location in the summary) is an easy way to confirm the person is actually at the county jail.

Although the jail roster is a public-facing tool, the Washington Public Records Act (RCW 42.56) exempts certain information from public disclosure. Consequently, custodian agencies may withhold or redact specific law enforcement and investigative records as well as victim-related information. Also, jail records that are more detailed than a jail roster are often inaccessible to the general public without proper authorization and a formal request.

How to Send Money to an Inmate in Snohomish County Jail?

Snohomish County Corrections provides commissary services for the inmates incarcerated at our facility. Friends and family may send money to an inmate’s account for commissary purchases (e.g., hygiene items, snacks, some clothing items) and specific jail-related charges.

To get started, a depositor is expected to have one of the following identifiers:

• The person’s CIN #/Global Subject Number (this is obtainable from the Jail Register), or
• The person’s name (to look them up first in the Jail Register)

Option 1: Deposit money by phone or online (fastest posting)

Snohomish County offers depositors a service called Access Secure Deposits for debit/credit deposits.

General steps:

1. Use Access Secure Deposits by phone or internet.
2. Enter the inmate’s 7-digit Global Subject Number (required by the online form).
3. Complete payment using a debit or credit card.

Please note:

• Deposits made via this method typically post within 5 minutes.
• The service charges a non-refundable fee.
• The sender’s card issuer or bank may apply additional fees.

Option 2: Deposit money in person at the jail’s Inmate Account Window.

Individuals may deposit funds at the Inmate Account Window at the Main Jail (reception area).

• Accepted: cash, cashier’s checks, money orders
• Not accepted: personal checks
• Window opens 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., daily (effective October 12, 2025).
• Cashier’s check or money order should be made payable to Snohomish County Corrections or SCC.
• Do not put the inmate’s name on the "Pay to" line (the county states it may not be cashable). Instead, write the inmate’s name and Global Subject Number in the Memo/Note field so the funds post correctly.

Option 3: Deposit by mail (currently not accepted)

As of May 1, 2022, Snohomish County no longer accepts inmate deposits through the U.S. mail (due to changes in personal mail processing).

Snohomish County also allows family and friends to order certain items directly for an inmate. Consequently, family and friends may order hygiene items, underwear, and writing supplies online or by phone. These orders are delivered during regular commissary delivery the following week.

Inmate Search by Jail Facility

In Snohomish County, the Sheriff’s Office Corrections Bureau handles adult custody information via a shared online "Jail Register." In contrast, the Juvenile Court and Detention Services oversees juvenile detention, with no public roster-style search tool.

For most adult bookings in Snohomish County, the public-facing tool to start with is the Snohomish County Jail Register (also known as "Jail Inmate Inquiry"). This register covers the Snohomish County Jail, including some municipal jail inmates from Lynnwood and Marysville. Please note that while the shared jail Register is the main tool, Marysville maintains a separate "Municipal Jail Inmate Inquiry" page.

In Snohomish County, the Snohomish County Juvenile Court/Detention Services handles juvenile detention. Although the county provides information on detention services, it does not publish a public, searchable "juvenile roster" like an adult jail register. When someone is a minor, families typically need to contact the appropriate juvenile detention/juvenile court channels for guidance. Access to juvenile detention records is more restricted than adult custody information.

Snohomish County lists a Work Release location for individuals in the county’s alternative sentencing program, tailored for employed persons, students, or those in court-ordered treatment. However, there is no public roster-style search tool for work release participants. Inquirers who believe someone is in a work release or alternative custody-type program should consider the practical route stated below:

• Search the Jail Register first (to see if they are listed and where they are housed), and
• If they cannot be found or the situation appears program-based, contact the Main Jail/Corrections Bureau for direction.

Snohomish County Visitation Rules and Schedules

Who Can Visit

For family and friends (social visits):

• They are expected to register online through the jail’s inmate communications or visitation system and be approved before visiting.

Children may attend on-site video visiting, but:

They must be supervised by a parent or guardian during visiting. The jail notes that children under 18 do not have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian if they are the inmate’s son, daughter, brother, or sister, but they still must be supervised by an adult.

ID and Approval Requirements

For social video visits, the jail lists these registration requirements:

• A valid email address
• A valid ID
• Mailing address
• Social Security number
• Telephone number
• A profile photo
• The prospective visitor must upload a clear selfie photo and the front and back of a state-issued ID or driver’s license (approval will not be granted without these uploads).

Dress Code and Behavior Expectations

Dress and Conduct

• Wear appropriate clothing, including shoes and shirts (staff may refuse a visit for inappropriate dress or conduct).
• Anyone who appears under the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be allowed to visit.
• There should be no loitering before or after visits.
• No pets inside the building (service animals trained to assist a person with a disability are allowed).

Items Not Allowed

• Do not bring purses, packages, food, or drink into the visiting or secure areas.
• No weapons are allowed in the facility.
• Trying to bring in contraband may result in arrest and prosecution.

Visitor Limits

• Only two (2) adults and/or children are allowed at one time in the on-site visiting kiosks.

Visitation Duration

• All visits are a maximum of 30 minutes.

Visitation Schedule (General days and hours)

Given that Snohomish County uses video visitation, "visiting hours" work a little differently compared to traditional in-person booth visits:

• Remote social video visits: These must be scheduled in advance and are expected to match the inmate’s availability. Inmates may also be able to video visit on demand when they have access to a tablet or visit kiosk, except during facility lockdowns (availability varies by housing unit and may change due to security or operations).
• On-site video visiting (free kiosks): The jail has three video visit kiosks in the cashier lobby, which is open 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily.

Mailing and Commissary Information

Snohomish County differentiates between personal mail (letters and photos) and legal mail (attorney-client privileged); the address and rules differ.

I. Personal Mail

The jail authority scans personal mail and delivers it to inmates digitally on jail-provided tablets. Subsequently, they destroy the original mail. Therefore, family and friends should avoid sending anything they cannot replace.

Personal Mail Address Format

Inmate First & Last Name - Inmate ID # (7-digit Subject #)

Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office

PO Box 9196

Seminole, FL 33775

3025 Oakes Ave

Everett, WA 98201

Senders are advised to:

• Write the inmate ID number clearly. Mail is machine-scanned, and unreadable numbers may prevent delivery.
• Include a complete return address.
• Do not mail personal letters to the jail’s Everett Street address. The county states that personal mail sent to the jail’s physical address will not be accepted and will be returned.
• Family and friends cannot drop off personal mail at the jail. The county jail also does not accept personal mail delivered overnight by express carriers.
• Do not send money through personal mail.
• Do not send irreplaceable original items, as they are typically destroyed after scanning. Sending sentimental photos or documents may result in irreplaceable loss.

II. Attorney-Client Privileged Mail

The jail administration expects legal mail to be clearly marked and mailed directly to the facility.

Legal Mail Address Format

Inmate Name and ID #

c/o Snohomish County Corrections

Key rule: Clearly mark the envelope as "LEGAL MAIL." Do not send legal mail to the personal mail PO Box.

Packages (Care Packages)

The Snohomish County jail system does not accept care packages through the mail or by direct delivery to the jail. Instead, family and friends may order specific items, such as hygiene items, underwear, and writing supplies, through an approved online vendor.

Books and Magazines

Books and magazines may be sent only if they come from a publisher, a warehouse retailer, or an online bookseller (not from a private seller or a local retail store). Only paperbacks are allowed. Items may be denied or returned if they contain nudity, sexual or violent content, or gang- or crime-related content.
