Sammamish Busted Mugshots
Search Sammamish busted mugshots, jail roster data, and arrest records tied to the city and the King County Correctional Facility. Sammamish does not run its own jail or police force. The King County Sheriff's Office patrols the city under a contract and books adults into the county jail in downtown Seattle. This page lists the main tools to find Sammamish mugshots, the offices that hold booking photos and police records, and the steps to file a public records request for arrest records.
Sammamish Police Contract
Sammamish is one of the contract cities served by the King County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff staffs the Sammamish Police precinct at City Hall. Day to day patrol, arrests, and crime reports flow through sheriff deputies who wear a Sammamish badge. For official city info on the police unit, see sammamish.us/police. The city site lists the chief, the precinct phone line, and the non-emergency number for reporting.
Because the contract runs through the county, most Sammamish arrest records live in sheriff systems, not a city file room. Incident reports, case files, body camera clips, and booking photos all route through the King County Sheriff records unit. A public records request for Sammamish police records goes to the sheriff public disclosure team under RCW 42.56. The city clerk handles non-police records like council files, permits, and contracts.
Note: Sammamish Police is a sheriff precinct, so any request that names the city should also name King County Sheriff to speed the search.
King County Jail Roster
People booked by Sammamish deputies land at the King County Correctional Facility at 500 Fifth Avenue in Seattle. The jail roster is public under RCW 70.48.100. That law says the jail register must list the name, date, hour, and cause of each booking, plus release data. You can pull the current roster online or call the jail at (206) 296-1234. Reception closes daily from 2:20 to 2:40 p.m., so plan around that window.
The roster shows first name, last name, booking date, and charge. It does not show a mugshot on screen. Booking photos of Sammamish arrestees are held in the sheriff file system and fall under RCW 10.97 rules on non-conviction data. For a deeper look at county jail tools, sheriff records, and the juvenile site, see the King County busted mugshots page. It covers both jail sites and the contract city list.
Sammamish Arrest Records Requests
To ask for a Sammamish police report, file a public records request with the King County Sheriff. The sheriff uses an online portal for intake. You give a name, a date range, and any case or booking number you have. Staff send back a fee estimate and a timeline. Under RCW 42.56.520, the first response comes within five business days. Big jobs ship in installments.
Paper copies cost fifteen cents per page. Scanned files run ten cents per page. Digital transfer is ten cents per gigabyte. Body camera footage costs more due to redaction work. The rules on mugshot use come from RCW 10.97.130, which limits the sale or re-post of booking photos for a fee. That law aims to stop sites that charge to take a photo down.
Note: Keep the request narrow. A broad ask can take months, but a case-number ask often comes back in days.
