Redmond Municipal Court

The Redmond Municipal Court handles misdemeanor criminal cases, gross misdemeanors, traffic infractions, and city ordinance violations within Redmond city limits. Incidents that occur within the city and involve state or city misdemeanor charges are processed here. This is the starting point for Redmond criminal records searches at the city misdemeanor level.

The court is located on 160th Avenue NE, the same building as the Redmond Police Department. Court records and police records are maintained separately, so contact the court clerk for case documents and the police department for incident reports. The clerk can search case files by name or case number and provide copies at standard rates.

Redmond Police Department Records

The Redmond Police Department maintains records for arrests, incidents, and police reports from events within Redmond city limits. If you need a copy of a police report, an arrest record, or any incident report tied to a Redmond address, submit a public records request to the department. Requests can be made in person at the police building on 160th Avenue NE or through the department's online request system.

All public records requests are governed by the Washington Public Records Act under RCW Chapter 42.56. The agency must respond within five business days. Active investigation files may be withheld under specific exemptions in RCW 42.56.240. Copy fees run $0.15 per page for printed records.

Searching Redmond Criminal Records Online

Two main tools cover Redmond criminal case information online. The KC Script portal at dja-prd-ecexap1.kingcounty.gov is specific to King County Superior Court and is the best choice for felony records. The statewide Washington Courts portal at dw.courts.wa.gov covers all court levels in all 39 counties and is the better starting point when you are not sure which court handled a case.

Both tools are free for basic case lookups. Neither provides document images, but both show party names, charges, case status, and hearing schedules. Data in the statewide portal updates overnight. If you need real-time case status confirmation, call the court clerk directly. A full name and approximate filing year is usually enough to get results in both systems.

Note: For cases that are still active or very recent, the online portals may not reflect the latest filings. Always verify current case status directly with the clerk if accuracy matters.

WATCH Background Check System

For a statewide criminal history search covering Redmond and all of Washington, use the WATCH system run by the Washington State Patrol. WATCH is available at watch.wsp.wa.gov and costs $11 per name-based search when paid by credit or debit card. The system searches the state's central conviction repository and returns a RAP sheet showing Washington State conviction history, adverse findings, sex offender registration status, and Department of Corrections information. Results come back within seconds.

Mail requests to the WSP Identification and Criminal History Section in Olympia cost $32 per name. Fingerprint-based checks run $58. The WSP can be reached at (360) 534-2000. Non-conviction information is not available to the general public under RCW Chapter 10.97. WATCH does not include out-of-state convictions.

WATCH provides immediate Washington State conviction history for Redmond and statewide for $11 per name-based search.
