Access Redmond Inmate Population Records
Redmond inmate population records flow through King County's jail system, which uses the JILS platform for public custody searches. Redmond Police Department makes arrests within the city and routes them to King County jail facilities. Felony arrests go to the King County Correctional Facility downtown, while misdemeanor cases may go to the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Both facilities are searchable through the King County JILS system.
Redmond Jail Overview
Where Redmond Arrests Are Processed
Redmond is an incorporated city in King County, most widely known as the headquarters of Microsoft. Redmond Police Department is located at 8701 160th Ave NE, Redmond, WA 98052. When Redmond officers make an arrest, the person is transported to a King County jail facility for booking. Which facility depends on the nature of the charges.
Felony arrests go to the King County Correctional Facility (KCCF) in downtown Seattle. This is the main King County detention facility and holds pre-trial felony defendants, people serving sentences, and those held on high-level misdemeanor charges. The facility is managed by King County's Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention (DAJD) at kingcounty.gov/dept/dajd.aspx.
Lower-level cases and Eastside arrests may go through the Maleng Regional Justice Center (RJC) in Kent. The RJC serves as a combined courthouse and jail for the eastern parts of King County, including Redmond. The facility is at 401 4th Avenue N, Kent, WA 98032. King County District Court and King County Superior Court both operate at the RJC, which means booking and court appearances can happen at the same location for some cases.

Redmond borders Kirkland, Bellevue, Sammamish, and Bothell, and the city sees both residential and commercial crime patterns that differ from urban Seattle. Technology companies employ tens of thousands of people in Redmond, which brings its own mix of law enforcement issues. But the booking and custody process is the same as for the rest of King County. Arrests go to King County facilities and appear in the same JILS database.
How to Search the Redmond Inmate Population
The King County JILS (Jail Information and Lookup System) at dajd-jms.powerappsportals.us is the main tool for finding someone in Redmond's inmate population. JILS is free to use and does not require an account. You can search by last name, first name, or booking number. Results show current custody status, charges, and facility assignment.
The DAJD main page at kingcounty.gov/dept/dajd.aspx links to JILS and gives additional information about King County's jail system, including visitation rules, release procedures, and how to request records. The page also explains how the system is organized and where different types of cases end up in the facility network.
The screenshot below shows the King County DAJD page, which provides access to Redmond inmate population records through the JILS lookup system.
For court records on Redmond cases, you have two main options. King County District Court handles misdemeanor cases; King County Superior Court handles felonies. Both are searchable through the Washington Courts case search at courts.wa.gov. If you found someone in JILS and want to know how the court case is going, the courts.wa.gov search is the next step.
If someone is not in the JILS system, they may have been released or transferred to a DOC facility. The Washington State DOC incarcerated person search at doc.wa.gov can confirm whether a Redmond individual is in state custody.
Note: JILS shows current custody data for King County facilities. If someone appears to have been released and you expected them to still be in custody, contact King County DAJD directly to confirm.
Public Records Access for Redmond Inmate Population
Washington's Public Records Act under RCW 42.56 gives you the right to request government records without stating a reason. Booking records, arrest logs, and incident reports are generally subject to disclosure. The agency has five business days to respond with records, a timeline, or note any exemptions.
RCW 70.48.100 requires county jails to maintain a public register of all confined persons. The JILS system is how King County makes this register available to the public. It covers all King County jail facilities and is accessible without a formal records request.
For records about Redmond Police arrests specifically, contact Redmond Police Department at 8701 160th Ave NE, Redmond, WA 98052. For records held by King County DAJD, submit a public records request through the King County public records portal. Requests for incident reports, booking paperwork, and intake records that go beyond what JILS shows should be made in writing.
VINE Custody Alerts for Redmond Inmates
VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) works with the King County jail system and sends free, anonymous alerts when an inmate's custody status changes. Register at VINELink.com and choose alerts by phone, text, or email. The service covers both the King County Correctional Facility and the Maleng Regional Justice Center.
VINE also covers Washington State DOC facilities. So if a Redmond inmate is convicted of a felony and transferred from King County Jail to a state prison, you can still get custody updates through the same VINE registration. You can track multiple people at the same time. The service runs 24 hours a day. No personal identification is required to register, and registration takes only a few minutes.
Note: VINE updates may lag a short time behind actual custody changes. For immediate confirmation of custody status, call King County DAJD or the specific facility directly.
State Resources for Redmond Inmate Searches
Redmond residents convicted of felonies and sentenced to more than one year transfer from King County Jail to a Washington State DOC facility. The DOC incarcerated person search at doc.wa.gov covers all state prisons. Search by name or DOC number to find which facility currently holds a specific person and view projected release data.
The Washington State Patrol WATCH system at watch.wsp.wa.gov provides name-based criminal history searches for $11 per lookup. WATCH uses fingerprint-backed records, which makes results more thorough than a standard name search alone. It includes conviction records and recent arrests with charges still pending. WATCH gives the most complete public picture of a Redmond individual's criminal record.
For court records, the Washington Courts case search at courts.wa.gov covers King County Superior Court and King County District Court. Redmond felony cases go to Superior Court. Misdemeanor cases typically go to King County District Court or Redmond's municipal court level. Both are searchable through the state courts portal.
