Redmond Overview
King County District Court in Redmond
King County District Court's Redmond Courthouse is at 8601 160th Avenue NE, Redmond, WA 98052. Phone: (206) 205-9200. This court handles misdemeanor cases, preliminary criminal hearings, traffic infractions, and civil claims under $75,000. Redmond contracts with King County District Court for many of its municipal matters, which means cases involving Redmond ordinance violations or citations issued by Redmond police are typically heard at this location.
Redmond's City Attorney's Office prosecutes misdemeanor and infraction cases within Redmond city limits. The prosecution function stays with the city even though the court itself is a King County facility. If you have a Redmond case, you may deal with both the Redmond City Attorney and King County District Court staff during the same proceedings. Court records from these cases are maintained by King County District Court, not the City of Redmond.
The City of Redmond homepage has links to court contact information and the city attorney's office for questions about prosecution. For questions about the court's schedule, case filings, or records, contact King County District Court at (206) 205-9200 or visit the Redmond Courthouse in person during business hours.

Redmond's position as a tech hub in the Eastside region means a substantial volume of traffic and civil cases pass through the Redmond Courthouse. King County District Court handles all of these at the Redmond location, which keeps most Redmond residents from needing to travel to Seattle for routine court matters. For cases that require Superior Court, the main King County courthouse in Seattle is the venue.
Statewide Case Search for Redmond
The Washington Courts statewide case search at dw.courts.wa.gov covers all participating courts including King County District Court and Superior Court. Search by party name or case number. Results show case type, filing date, current status, and scheduled hearings. Redmond cases filed at King County District Court will appear under the King County District Court label rather than a Redmond-specific court name, since Redmond does not have a standalone municipal court with its own label in the system.
For older Superior Court records, the KC Script Portal provides more detailed access including filed documents and docket entries. The statewide search and the KC Script Portal complement each other: use the statewide tool for a quick name search across all court types, then use KC Script for detailed document access once you have the specific case number. Both tools are free for basic searches.
King County maintains public access terminals at several locations for those who prefer in-person research. The Redmond Courthouse itself has clerk staff who can assist with case lookups and records requests during business hours. For matters involving appeal to Superior Court, travel to the main courthouse in Seattle may be needed for in-person access.
Note: Redmond contracts with King County District Court for municipal court services. Court records from Redmond cases are maintained by King County District Court, not a standalone Redmond Municipal Court.
