Case Information and Records

The Seattle Municipal Court Portal provides access to case information, case records and courtroom calendars. You do not need a login to access information in the portal. Only attorneys, legal support staff, and pro se defendants need a login to file documents.

Using the left-hand menu, select Search to find case information, records, and courtroom calendars.

For access to case records for older cases, please contact the Clerks Office, smc_copy_requests@seattle.gov. For inquiries on civil cases (ex. 21-001), please contact the Civil Records Clerk, smc_civil@seattle.gov.
