Grant County Recent Bookings Lookup

Grant County Recent Bookings are best handled through the county jail and sheriff's office in Ephrata, with Moses Lake often feeding into the same jail path. If you need a fast custody check, start with the roster and booking number first. If you need a copy, follow the trail to the sheriff or court clerk. The county is large enough to make local details matter, but the public record path is still direct. A clear name and a short date range usually get you farther than a broad search.

Grant County Recent Bookings Search

Grant County has multiple booking entry points, but the jail roster is the first stop. The research lists county roster URLs at grantcountywa.gov/1538/Jail-Inmate-Roster and grantcountywa.gov/inmateroster/, which tells you the county expects people to search by name and then narrow by booking details. That is the most practical way to use the page. If you already know the booking date or jail number, the search gets much faster.

The county jail is in Ephrata at 35 C St NW, and the work release facility is nearby at 1631 Division Ave East. That layout matters because the recent booking trail often moves from intake to custody to work release without ever leaving the county system. If you are checking on someone from Moses Lake, that person still lands in the Grant County Jail. The city does not keep the jail record on its own.

Start with the county jail page at grantcountywa.gov/sheriff/jail and the roster links at grantcountywa.gov/1538/Jail-Inmate-Roster and grantcountywa.gov/inmateroster/. Those county sources are the cleanest way to confirm whether a person is in custody, what the booking line shows, and where to go next if you need a record copy. The county email listed in the research is sheriff@grantcountywa.gov, which is helpful when you need a written request or a quick follow-up question.

To search Grant County Recent Bookings, keep this ready:

Full name or last name
Approximate booking date
Booking number or ID number if known
Whether you need current custody or a copy

That is enough for most searches. It also keeps the county from having to guess which record you want.

Grant County Jail and Records

The Grant County Jail is at 35 C St NW in Ephrata, WA 98823, and the main jail number is 509-754-2011 ext 2485. The chief deputy named in the research is Joe Kriete. The county also runs a work release facility at 1631 Division Ave East in Ephrata. That setup gives the county a tight custody loop. It is simple, but it still needs the right office if you want the facts instead of a rumor.

Grant County does not hide its public access path. The jail roster is available online, and the roster fields in the research include age, booking number, ID number, booking date, and location. That is enough to separate a live custody entry from an older one. If you need the paper trail behind the roster, the sheriff's office is the place to ask. The county public records process is also tied to that office, even when the exact request form is not front and center on the page.

Washington records rules still shape what the county can release. Under RCW 70.48.100, jail information is not treated the same way as a full criminal history file. The county can show you the useful booking fields, but older or broader material may need a formal request. The response timeline in RCW 42.56.520 also matters because it sets the five business day acknowledgment window for a records ask.

Grant County is one of the places where a short request pays off. Use the exact name, the date range, and the record type. If you want the booking line, say so. If you want the jail file, say that instead. The county will work faster when the ask is narrow.

Grant County Recent Bookings Images

The county does not have a local image in the manifest, so this page uses state-level screenshots tied to official Washington sources. The first image comes from the Washington Attorney General public records guide at atg.wa.gov/obtaining-records, which is a practical state fallback after a county roster check.

That state image is useful when you need request rules rather than a local jail entry.

The second image comes from the Washington Attorney General public records guide at atg.wa.gov/obtaining-records, which explains how to ask for county records in plain language.

The third image comes from the Washington Courts name and case search at dw.courts.wa.gov, which helps when a recent booking becomes a filed case.

Grant County Recent Bookings State Tools

Grant County benefits from a few state tools when the local roster is not enough. The Washington Courts search at dw.courts.wa.gov helps you follow a booking into a docket or hearing. The Odyssey portal at odysseyportal.courts.wa.gov/ODYPORTAL/ is another case search route if the file lives in that system. Neither replaces the county jail roster, but both are useful once the case starts moving.

If you need a statewide follow-up, the Washington Attorney General records guide at atg.wa.gov/obtaining-records gives you the request rules behind local disclosures. It is not a live jail roster. It works best after you know the office or record you are checking. The DOC incarcerated search at doc.wa.gov/records/incarcerated-data-search/incarcerated-search is only for state prison custody, which makes it a later step, not a local substitute.

Grant County also fits into Washington's normal public records process. The Attorney General guide at atg.wa.gov/obtaining-records explains what to ask for, while the public records act itself sits in RCW 42.56. If you are trying to sort out jail data from criminal history data, the MRSC criminal history guide is a useful plain-English reference.

Moses Lake Recent Bookings

Moses Lake matters in Grant County because the city does not run its own jail. The research says Moses Lake arrests go to the Grant County Jail in Ephrata, which means a city booking still becomes a county custody record. That is the key point. If you are starting from a Moses Lake arrest, the county jail roster is still the record that matters for status, booking date, and jail location.

The Moses Lake Police Department uses a public records portal at moseslake-wa.nextrequest.com, and the department contact in the research is mlpdrecords@cityofml.com. The city also lists a general public records address at publicrecords@cityofml.com. Those city contacts are useful when you need the police report or the incident side of the case, but the jail side still lives in Grant County.

That split is easy to miss. The city can tell you what was reported. The county can tell you who was booked. Put those together and the record trail becomes much clearer. It also helps if you need to check whether a person moved from arrest to work release, because Grant County handles that step too.

Grant County Recent Bookings Court Records

Grant County Superior Court and Grant County District Court are both in Ephrata at 35 C St NW. The superior court phone is 509-754-2011, and the district court sits in the same building. That close layout makes the record trail easy to follow once you move beyond the jail roster. If a recent booking turns into a hearing or a filed case, the courthouse is where the next paper trail lives.

Use Washington Courts Name and Case Search if you want to follow the booking into a court file. That tool is better for dockets than for live custody. The county jail tells you where the person is now. The court tells you what happens next. In a county with one central court location, that is often all you need.

Grant County also shares a practical pattern with Moses Lake. A city arrest does not stay in the city system. It moves into the county jail and then into the county court. That is why a focused search by name and date is usually enough to start, and why the county clerk becomes the next call if you need a copy.

Grant County Recent Bookings Resources

The county pages give you the fastest path. The state pages fill in the gaps when the booking has moved, the record is older, or the request needs a legal frame. That is the right way to use them. Start local, then widen the search only if the county roster does not give enough detail.

Grant County keeps the booking trail short enough to manage, but only if you stay close to the county source. Use the jail roster first, then move to the city or court side if the case needs more context.
