Who Issues Warrants in Sedro-Woolley
In Washington an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Sedro-Woolley that means the Skagit 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.

How to Check for a Warrant in Sedro-Woolley
The places to check for a warrant from Sedro-Woolley:
- The court file of the case, through the County Clerk at (360) 650-3125, 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 (360) 416-1600, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Skagit County Sheriff's Office at skagitcounty.net, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Skagit 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 Sedro-Woolley
