CourtTrax News

How far back into time does a name search go if you don't specify start and end dates?

Each Superior and District/Municipal court in Washington started providing electronic records at different dates over the last thirty years.

Some court records go back to the late 1970s --Yakima and King county for example. Other courts just recently started participating, for example Electric City Municipal Court records are only available back to October, 2002.

A full list of all the courts' start dates is available by clicking on the Courts link at the top of the CourtTrax search form.

The Courts Information page also describes the Superior and District/Municipal levels of courts, the hours of operation, the types of cases tried in the court, and the monetary limits for cases handled by the court.
