Bothell City Clerk Phone Directory

The City Clerk serves as the Public Records Officer for Bothell. The clerk's office is at 18305 101st Ave NE, Bothell, WA 98011. Phone is 425-486-3256. Fax goes to 425-487-1204.

Bothell Police Phone Directory

The Bothell Police Department is at 18410 101st Ave NE, Bothell, WA 98011. The non-emergency phone is 425-486-1254. For emergencies, call 9-1-1. The police handle their own records coordination.

When you file a request for police records, include the case number if you know it, the names and dates of birth of the people involved, and the date, time, and location of the incident.

Police records go through GovQA just like city records. The process is the same. Staff will review the request, check for exemptions under RCW 42.56.240, and release what they can. Some records are exempt. Ongoing investigations, juvenile data, and certain personal details may be blocked out. If you get a partial release, the city will tell you which parts were withheld and why.

Note: Include as much detail as you can in your police records request to help staff find the right file quickly.
