Island County Jail Roster
The Island County jail roster sits at islandcountywa.gov. The page lists each inmate alphabetically by last name. For each name you get a booking date, age, inmate number, arrest date, arresting agency, court, billing agency, bond type, bond amount, and charges. The data refreshes every three hours starting at midnight. Recent Bookings and Recent Releases pages show the latest changes. Mobile users can also try the Vinelink app for the same data.
Under RCW 70.48.100, the jail roster is a public record. The state law says the name, hour, date, and cause of confinement are open. That means even if a booking photo is held back, the rest of the Island County arrest record is open to view. You can also call the Island County Jail at (360) 678-4422 if you cannot get the roster online.
Note: Booking photos are not always shown online but the Island County jail roster names and charges stay public.
Island County Jail and Booking Photos
The Island County Jail sits at 503 N. Main Street in Coupeville. The facility holds 58 inmates in a traditional linear style with cell blocks and dorms. It was remodeled in 1983. The jail offers outdoor recreation, mail, commissary, medical care, religious services, and work programs. In October 2025 the county switched from Securus to CIDNET for phone and tablet services. Video visits now run seven days a week.
Each booking pulls a mugshot, fingerprints, charges, and bond info. That data feeds into the Island County jail roster. Visit hours run on a split schedule by last name. Inmates with last names A-L visit Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Inmates with last names M-Z visit Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at the same time.

Island County Sheriff Records Requests
The Island County Sheriff Records Unit handles requests for arrest reports, dispatch logs, and police files. In June 2024 the county switched to NextRequest as its public records platform. NextRequest tracks requests across multiple county departments. The portal sits at islandcountywa.nextrequest.com. To file a request, give your name, an email, a clear date range, and the records you want. Use plain words. Be as specific as you can.
Body-worn camera files have a tighter rule under RCW 42.56.240(14)(d). You must give the name of a person involved, a case number, the date and place, or the name of a deputy. Without one of those, the request will not move forward. Some criminal history is also held back under RCW 10.97 and RCW 10.97.130.
The sheriff sits at 101 NE Sixth Street in Coupeville. There are also offices in Freeland and on Camano Island.
Visit the Island County records portal to file a public records request.
