The Snohomish County jail roster, published through the county’s Jail Register and Inmate Search, is the primary public tool for checking current jail custody in and around Everett, Washington. It is especially useful after an arrest because the public register can show the inmate’s name, booking date, charge descriptions, offense dates, bail or bond information and arresting agency. A particularly important feature is that the register is no longer limited to the Snohomish County Jail: it also includes people housed in the municipal jails in Lynnwood and Marysville, and the inmate summary identifies the current housing location. That prevents a common mistake in which a family member finds the right name but contacts the wrong facility. The Corrections Bureau also uses a seven-digit subject number in the jail register, which can be useful for inmate mail and record identification. Because booking, bail and release information can change quickly, the online register should be treated as a current custody resource rather than a final account of the criminal case. Court records remain the better source for later case developments.

What Information Does the Snohomish County Jail Roster Show?
Snohomish County states that several categories of inmate information are available for public release through the daily jail register.
- Inmate name
- Booking date or dates
- Description of the charge or charges
- Offense date or dates
- Bail and bond information
- Arresting agency
- Current housing location in the county or participating municipal jail
- Seven-digit subject number used for identification in the jail system
The public register is useful for a custody check, but it is not the complete inmate file. Under Washington law, other jail records can be confidential and may require the inmate’s written permission, a court order or a formal records request.
How to Search the Snohomish County Jail Roster
Use the official Snohomish County Corrections inmate search when accuracy matters, particularly when you need to know the person’s current housing location.
- Open the Snohomish County Jail Register or Jail Inmate Search from the county Corrections page.
- Search for the person using the available name information.
- Open the matching inmate summary and confirm the housing location before contacting a facility.
- Compare the booking date, charges, arresting agency and subject number to avoid confusing people with similar names.
- Review the bail or bond information shown in the register, but verify current requirements before making a payment.
- If you need records beyond the public register, use the county’s jail-records request process rather than assuming the online summary is the complete file.
Understanding Booking, Subject Number and Custody Information
The public register combines information used for identification with information about the booking itself.
- Booking date: Shows when the person entered the jail system for that booking.
- Subject number: A seven-digit identifier used by Snohomish County Corrections; the county specifically directs mail senders to obtain it from the jail register.
- Housing location: Shows whether the person is in the Snohomish County Jail or a participating municipal jail.
- Arresting agency: Identifies the agency responsible for the arrest connected with the booking.
- Charges and offense dates: Describe the allegations associated with the booking; they are not findings of guilt.
- Bail or bond information: Reflects the custody conditions recorded at that time and can change following a court decision.
A person can be released from jail while the criminal case continues. Release status and case status should therefore be checked separately.
What to Do If Someone Is Not Listed
If a recent arrest does not appear in the register, do not assume that the arrest did not happen.
- Allow time for intake, identification and booking to be completed after a very recent arrest.
- Recheck the spelling of the person’s legal name.
- Confirm whether the arrest occurred in Snohomish County or in another jurisdiction.
- Remember that the county register covers the Snohomish County Jail plus the Lynnwood and Marysville municipal jails, but it does not cover every jail in Washington.
- If the person may already have been released, contact the jail for current custody information.
- For an urgent check, call the Snohomish County Main Jail at 425-388-3395.

Snohomish County has published a specific warning about scams targeting relatives and associates of recently booked people. The Sheriff’s Office says it will not call and demand money on behalf of an inmate and will not ask for payment through services such as Zelle, Venmo or PayPal. If someone contacts you unexpectedly about bail, monitoring equipment or treatment fees, verify the inmate’s status and payment instructions directly with the jail before sending money.
Jail Roster vs. Court Records
Use the Jail Register when the question is about custody: whether the person is incarcerated, where the person is housed, when the booking occurred, what charges are associated with it and what bail or bond information is currently displayed.
Use court records to follow the prosecution, hearings, motions, judgments and later case activity. Snohomish County provides access to public Superior Court records, and Washington Courts offers a statewide case-search system. The statewide search itself is reference information rather than the official court record, so filed documents should be obtained from the court or clerk when an authoritative copy is required.
Important Points to Remember
- Check the housing location in the inmate summary before calling or visiting a jail.
- The register includes the Snohomish County Jail and municipal jails in Lynnwood and Marysville.
- The seven-digit subject number is an important identifier for jail communication and records.
- A booking or charge description is not proof of guilt.
- The public register does not contain every confidential jail record.
- Never send bail or custody-related money based only on an unsolicited phone call; verify instructions with the jail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why does a Snohomish County jail search show Lynnwood or Marysville as the location?
The county expanded the Jail Register to include people incarcerated in the municipal jails in Lynnwood and Marysville. The inmate summary identifies the facility where the person is currently housed.
Q. What is the seven-digit subject number in the Snohomish County Jail Register?
It is an identifier used by the Corrections Bureau. Snohomish County specifically instructs people sending inmate mail to obtain the subject number from the jail register, so it can also help distinguish inmates with similar names.
Q. Can I request the inmate’s complete jail file from the public register?
No. The daily register provides certain public information, but other inmate records are confidential under Washington law and may require the inmate’s written authorization, a court order or an appropriate records request.
Q. What should I do if someone calls me demanding bail money for a Snohomish County inmate?
Do not rely on the caller. The Sheriff’s Office warns about scams using real jail-register information and says it does not call to demand inmate payments through mobile-payment apps. Contact the jail directly to verify custody and bail information.
Q. Does being released from the Snohomish County Jail mean the criminal case ended?
No. Jail release only describes custody. Charges can remain pending after release, so court records should be checked for the status of the criminal case.
Q. Where should I look if I need the actual court filings?
Use Snohomish County Superior Court record services or the appropriate court of record. Washington’s statewide case search can help locate the case, but the court maintains the official file and provides copies of filed documents.
