Washington State Records is a search engine developed to ease the operation of looking for and finding civil court records, criminal court records, legal decisions, and all obtainable public records.

Court records are open and accessible to the public due to the Freedom of Information Act and their equivalents present in every state, meaning any American can access the events and occurrences associated with a trial or court event. This means that the important points of lawsuits, bankruptcy findings, lien judgements, criminal trials and civil trials are all available for perusal and research. The sole exception is when an archive is legally regarded as redacted, sealed, or nullified. This is the case with juvenile criminal court records, divorce records (which tend to be only accessible to those getting divorced and their legal advisors), sealed birth records (for closed adoptions), or in cases of victim anonymity. Outside these exclusions, all court records are viewed as open and available to the public, which includes civil court records, trial court records, criminal court records, and more.

Using Washington State Records shortens the entire process of finding your record, and just requires a name, or an address to get started. Enter a name, enter an address, and State Records will get every available matching record. This includes both digital and digitized records, meaning your search may even yield results from the early twentieth century.
