Okanogan County Inmate Roster

The Okanogan County Jail is run by the Okanogan County Sheriff's Office. The county posts the inmate roster online at okanogancounty.org. The roster shows who is in custody right now. Each line has a name, a booking date, and the charge. Some entries link to the court file.

The image below is from the Okanogan County homepage. From there you can reach the sheriff page, the courts page, and the records unit.

The jail register is public under RCW 70.48.100. That law sets out what must show on the roster: name, hour and date of confinement, the cause, and how the person was let out. Okanogan County mugshots taken at intake are part of that record.

Note: The roster shows current custody, so older Okanogan County bookings will not appear there.
