Court hearings for people in jail/detention

Looking for information on court cases or hearings?

Adult and Juvenile Detention does not have information about court cases or hearings. You need to contact the appropriate court directly to find this information. 

Adults in detention at the King County Correctional Facility (KCCF) or the Maleng Regional Justice Center (MRJC) usually have hearings at one of these courts: 

• Superior Court – King County
• District Court – King County
• Seattle Municipal Court

They may also have hearings at another municipal, district, superior, or appellate court of the state of Washington. 

For youth

Youth at the Patricia H. Clark Children and Family Justice Center usually have their hearings at Juvenile Court, which is in the same building.
