Who Issues Warrants in Mukilteo
In Washington an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Mukilteo that means the Snohomish County Superior Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $100,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the District Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic infractions, small claims and civil cases up to $100,000, issues its own warrants on the cases before it. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
When a defendant misses a court date the judge issues a bench warrant, and either kind of warrant lives in the court file of the case, kept by the County Clerk.

The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Snohomish County: Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force (other agency); it serves warrants on its own ground.
The Bothell Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Snohomish County, so its arrests are not broken out for Snohomish County here.

Together, the 16 agencies in Snohomish County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 17,726 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Mukilteo arrest records.

How to Check for a Warrant in Mukilteo
Whether a warrant is out from Mukilteo shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the County Clerk at 425-388-3466, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Washington Courts Search Case Records, the Administrative Office of the Courts' free statewide case search, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The Prosecuting Attorney, phone 425-388-3333, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Snohomish County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's and the prosecutor's) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
Clearing a Warrant from Mukilteo
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Mukilteo starts with the County Clerk at 425-388-3466: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the District Court is handled by that court, not by the Snohomish County Superior Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The Prosecuting Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at snohomishcountywa.gov/202/Prosecutor, phone 425-388-3333.
