This page shows how to find a Redmond jail booking fast and where to ask when the online roster does not have what you need.
Redmond 24 Hour Booking Overview
Redmond Police and 24 Hour Booking
The Redmond Police Department runs all city patrol, arrest, and booking work. The station sits at 8701 160th Avenue NE in Redmond. The non-emergency line is (425) 556-2500. Call 911 for any active emergency. Redmond is home to Microsoft and a lot of daily traffic through the Eastside, and the police book steady 24 hour arrests every week.
The city has a small hold area for short term custody. Most people who are booked on more than a minor charge get moved to the King County Jail the same day. That means a Redmond arrest often shows up first on the Redmond Police side, and then on the county 24 hour booking roster a few hours later. Both sources are worth checking when you want the full picture on a new case.
The King County Sheriff page is the parent agency behind most Eastside jail work, and it links to the 24 hour booking tools used for Redmond arrests.
Note: Redmond Police handle the arrest, but the King County Correctional Facility is the long term holding site for most Redmond bookings.
King County Jail Roster for Redmond Arrests
Use the King County Jail Subject Lookup to find a Redmond name in custody. The tool is free. Type a last name, a first name, or a booking number. Results show custody status, charges, court date, and the facility. The page updates through the day as new Redmond 24 hour bookings come in from the city police.
The main site is the King County Correctional Facility at 500 Fifth Avenue in downtown Seattle. South King County arrests sometimes end up at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Both run on the same inmate lookup. That matters for Redmond because the city sits in the north Eastside, so the 24 hour booking trail almost always points to the downtown jail first.
If the roster does not show the name you want, the person may still be at the Redmond Police holding area waiting for transport. Call the non-emergency line and ask the records desk. You can also file a RCW 42.56 public records request through the city to get the jail register entries for a date you care about.
What a Redmond Booking Record Shows
Under RCW 70.48.100, the jail register is public. It lists the names of all people confined, the reason, the date of admission, and the legal authority for the booking. That short list is the core of every Redmond 24 hour booking entry. You will also see the arresting agency, the case number, and any bail amount set by the court.
A typical Redmond jail roster entry includes:
- Full name and any known aliases
- Booking date and time
- Arresting agency, usually Redmond Police
- Charges or arrest reason
- Holding facility, often the King County Jail
- Next court date when set
Booking photos and medical notes are not part of the public Redmond 24 hour booking file. Those items are kept private under state jail records rules. If you need a verified criminal history tied to a Redmond arrest, the Washington State Patrol WATCH system is the right source under RCW 10.97.
Court Records After a Redmond 24 Hour Booking
Most Redmond misdemeanor cases go to the King County District Court. Felony cases filed out of a Redmond 24 hour booking move to the King County Superior Court. The Odyssey Portal is the main public case search for superior court files. The Washington Courts case search pulls district and municipal court files statewide.
After a booking, check the jail roster for custody status. Then check the court portal for the case number, charges, and next hearing. The two sources work best together. VINELink is the free victim notification tool that can send a text when a Redmond inmate is released or moved.
The Odyssey Portal is the next step once a Redmond 24 hour booking turns into a filed case at the superior court level.
Public Records Requests in Redmond
When the live roster does not have what you need, file a records request. The Redmond Police Department takes requests by web form, email, and mail. Keep the request short.

For background on how Washington handles jail register rules, the MRSC jail services page is a solid plain language guide. The Attorney General's Open Government Resource Manual walks through what the city must release and what stays private. Fees are small. Most Redmond records cost 15 cents per printed page.
Note: Jail booking photos from a Redmond arrest are confidential under state law and are not released in most public records requests.
Statewide Tools for Redmond Lookups
State level tools help when the local roster runs thin. The DOC Incarcerated Search tracks anyone sent from a Redmond case to a state prison after conviction. The Washington State Patrol WATCH system is the verified source for criminal history checks tied to a Redmond name. The MRSC criminal history page explains what cities can share about arrest data.
The state also keeps a gateway to find the right sheriff or police agency. The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs site links to every department in the state, including Redmond Police. For victim notification after a Redmond 24 hour booking, VINELink is free, runs around the clock, and sends alerts by text, email, or phone.
The AG's manual is the main reference for how Redmond and every other Washington agency must answer a public records request, including 24 hour booking and jail register files.
Are Redmond Booking Records Public
Yes. The Redmond jail register is public under RCW 70.48.100. You do not need to be family. You do not need a case number.

Conviction history is public under RCW 10.97.050. Non-conviction arrest data has tighter rules. The Washington Public Records Act in RCW 42.56 sets the broad frame that Redmond Police and the King County Jail both follow when they answer a request for 24 hour booking records.
