Kenmore City Clerk Phone Directory

The Kenmore Public Records Officer is Teresa McAllister. She is also the Administrative Assistant at city hall. Her email is tmcallister@kenmorewa.gov. The main City/Town phone is (425) 398-8900.

The Public Records Act sits in RCW Chapter 42.56. It tells the records officer how to respond, what to charge, and when a request can be denied. Kenmore staff work under that law each day.

Kenmore Police Phone Directory

Kenmore contracts with the King County Sheriff's Office for police service. The city does not run its own police department. That is a key point for the Kenmore phone directory. If you need a police report, you will call the Sheriff's Office, not a city police line. For records, contact the King County Sheriff Records Requests unit. KCSO Public Disclosure Unit takes requests under RCW 42.56.

Dial 9-1-1 for any emergency. For non-emergency calls in Kenmore, the Sheriff's Office runs the dispatch line. Call the county dispatch for a deputy. The Kenmore phone directory at city hall can point you to the right county desk if you are not sure who to call.

Note: Police incident reports for Kenmore sit with the King County Sheriff's Office, not the city clerk.
