Shoreline 24 Hour Booking Database

Shoreline 24 hour booking records list every person arrested in the city over the last day and booked into the King County Jail. Shoreline sits just north of Seattle, and the city contracts with the King County Sheriff for all police service. That means every Shoreline arrest is made by a sheriff deputy and the 24 hour booking record lives at the county level from the start. This page walks through the search, the records unit, and the state tools that fill in the rest.

Shoreline Police and 24 Hour Booking

The Shoreline Police Department is a contract arm of the King County Sheriff. The station sits at 19200 Linden Avenue N, Shoreline, WA 98133. The non-emergency number is (206) 205-3554. Call 911 for any active emergency. Shoreline is just north of Seattle and shares commuter traffic with the city, so the police log a steady flow of 24 hour bookings every week.

Because the King County Sheriff runs Shoreline Police, every Shoreline 24 hour booking goes straight to the county system. The city does not run a jail. Records requests for a Shoreline arrest go to King County, not to the city hall. That keeps the search simple but it means you always work with the county records office.

King County Jail Lookup for Shoreline Arrests

Use the King County Jail Subject Lookup to find a Shoreline name in custody. The tool is free and runs 24 hours a day. Type a last name, a first name, or a booking number. Results show custody status, charges, court date, and the holding site. Shoreline 24 hour bookings almost always end up at the King County Correctional Facility in downtown Seattle because the city is just north of downtown.

If the roster does not show the name you want, the person may still be in transport or in the Shoreline Police holding area. Call the non-emergency line and ask the records desk. You can also file a public records request with King County to pull the jail register entries for a specific date.

The King County Sheriff is the direct parent of Shoreline Police and the records office for every Shoreline 24 hour booking.

What a Shoreline Booking Record Shows

Under RCW 70.48.100, the jail register is public. The register lists the names of all people confined, the reason, the date of admission, and the legal authority for the booking. That list is the core of a Shoreline 24 hour booking entry. The county roster may also show a case number you can use for court searches.

A typical Shoreline jail record on JILS shows:

• Full name and aliases
• Booking date and time
• Arresting agency, the King County Sheriff
• Charges or arrest reason
• Holding facility, the King County Jail
• Next court date when set

Booking photos, medical notes, and classification reports are not part of the public Shoreline 24 hour booking file. Those stay private under state jail law. Conviction history tied to a Shoreline arrest is public under RCW 10.97.050.

Court Records After a Shoreline Booking

Most Shoreline misdemeanor cases go to the King County District Court. Felony cases filed out of a Shoreline 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 covers district court files statewide.

Check the jail lookup first for custody status. Then check the court portal for the case number, charges, and next hearing. VINELink is the free victim notification tool. It will send a text when a Shoreline inmate is released or moved between facilities.

The Odyssey Portal is the right next step once a Shoreline 24 hour booking turns into a filed case at the King County Superior Court.

Records Requests and State Tools

When the live roster is thin, file a records request with the King County Sheriff under RCW 42.56. The request can go by web form, email, or mail. Keep it short. Name the date, the person, and the records you want. The county must respond in five business days. Fees are small, usually 15 cents per page.

State level tools round out a Shoreline search. The DOC Incarcerated Search tracks anyone sent from a Shoreline case to a state prison after conviction. The WSP WATCH system is the verified source for criminal history checks under RCW 10.97. The MRSC jail services page explains how Washington contract cities like Shoreline handle records.

The AG's manual is the main step-by-step guide for filing a 24 hour booking records request with King County.

How Contract Policing Shapes Records

Shoreline is one of several King County cities that contract with the sheriff for patrol work. Others include Sammamish, Burien, Kenmore, and Woodinville. In each case the sheriff handles arrest, booking, and records. That means the Shoreline 24 hour booking process is identical to a sheriff arrest anywhere else in King County. The only city-level piece is the station on Linden Avenue where deputies write reports and meet with residents.

This model keeps records simple. One agency owns the file. You do not need to hunt across two offices. The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs site explains the contract police model across the state. The MRSC criminal history page covers how cities like Shoreline handle arrest disclosure when the sheriff runs the service.

Are Shoreline Booking Records Public

Yes. The jail register is public under RCW 70.48.100. You do not need to be family. You do not need a case number. Booking photos, medical files, and classification notes stay private. The Washington Public Records Act in RCW 42.56 is the broad frame behind every Shoreline 24 hour booking request.

Nearby Cities and Parent County

Shoreline sits in north King County just above Seattle. The county page has the main jail roster and sheriff contact info.

Shoreline Court Files After a Booking

Most Shoreline misdemeanors land at the King County District Court. Felony charges from a Shoreline 24 hour booking move up to King County Superior Court. The Odyssey Portal is the main public case search for the superior court side. The Washington Courts case search covers district and municipal court files across the state.

Check the jail roster first to confirm custody. Then pull the case in Odyssey to see the charges, the next hearing, and the assigned judge. Court data feeds in as clerks key it, so a fresh Shoreline 24 hour booking may take a day to fully post. For long term conviction history tied to a Shoreline arrest, the WSP WATCH system is the state source under RCW 10.97.

State Resources for Shoreline Lookups

The DOC Incarcerated Search tracks any Shoreline case that ends in a state prison sentence. The AG Open Government Resource Manual walks through the records request process step by step, from the first letter to the appeal path. VINELink is the free notice tool for custody status changes.

The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs sets the jail standards that the King County jail must follow. Each tool fits one part of a Shoreline 24 hour booking file. Used together, they cover the full path from arrest, to roster, to court, to release.
