Washington Court Records Search

The Washington Court Records are available for all to see and search online. The state of Washington maintains a website through which you can search for cases filed in either the district, municipal, superior, and appellate courts of the state. The information is sourced from the data in each case that the clerks at the various courts record. The search engine is updated within a day after the clerks enter the information. The website is officially maintained by the Administrative arm of the court for the state. You can verify any information contained on the website by consulting the court record if you wish to do so.

The search tool will traverse through records from all court levels and return a list of people who match that name if you choose to go with a name search. There is the added benefit of being able to search through the cases involving each individual that you find. The site does not allow you to find the criminal record of a person because the Washington State Patrol does not maintain criminal history record information.

There are several criteria that one can use to find a particular case. It is recommended that you search by case if you have prior knowledge.
