Bothell Overview
Bothell Busted Mugshots Sources
Bothell is split between two counties. The bulk of the city sits in King County. The northern part is in Snohomish County. For arrest records, the booking county matters. If a Bothell PD officer makes the arrest in the King County side, the suspect is booked at one of the King County jails. If the arrest is in the Snohomish side, the suspect goes to the Snohomish County Jail in Everett. The mugshot lives with the booking jail.
The Bothell Police Department headquarters is in the King County part of the city. The department handles records requests for both halves of Bothell. File a request through the city website or call the records desk for help. Standard turnaround starts at five business days under RCW 42.56.520.
Bothell PD reviews each request for any exemption under RCW 42.56, the state Public Records Act. Items often held back include juvenile case data, child witness info, and parts of an active case file. The released report comes back redacted as needed.
Common Bothell records you can request:
- Police incident reports
- Collision and crash reports
- Body camera video
- Police logs and dispatch data
- Background check letters
Note: A Bothell incident may end up in either King County or Snohomish County court, so check both case search systems.
Bothell Police Records Process
The Bothell PD records unit handles public disclosure requests, traffic crash reports, and clearance letters. Requests can come in by web form, mail, or in person. Each request gets a tracking number. Records come back in PDF most of the time. Body camera video takes longer because of the redaction work needed. State law requires officers to mask private content like medical info, juvenile faces, and protected witness data.
The records desk can also help with concealed pistol license records and fingerprinting for background checks. Some services need an appointment. Call ahead to confirm. Bothell PD does not run a holding cell of its own. After booking, the suspect goes to the county jail.

King and Snohomish County Jail Rosters
Most Bothell arrests in the King County side end at the King County Jail in downtown Seattle or the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Search the King County jail roster by last name. Results show the booking date, the charges, the bail, and the next court date. Booking photos are linked.
Bothell arrests in the Snohomish County side go to the Snohomish County Jail in Everett. Search the Snohomish jail roster for current inmates. The format is similar. Both rosters list current inmates only. For older bookings, file a records request with the county.
Felony cases follow the booking county. King County felonies go to King County Superior Court. Snohomish felonies go to Snohomish County Superior Court. Both use the state Odyssey portal at Washington Courts case search. Bothell misdemeanors go to Bothell Municipal Court.
Note: Booking data is public under RCW 70.48.100.
