About this guide

Woodinville, Washington, in King County, has about 14,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A traffic ticket written in Woodinville is a court case in the District Court; a city with a municipal court tries its own, and the conviction it ends in goes on the driving record kept by the Washington State Department of Licensing. This guide says which court takes the ticket, who writes them and where the driving record lives.

This guide covers where tickets go, who writes them, the driving record and common questions.

Who Writes the Tickets in Woodinville

The King County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Woodinville (filed by the FBI as Woodinville Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Woodinville.

The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in King County: the University of Washington (campus police); the Port of Seattle (other agency).

The Milton Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including King County, so its arrests are not broken out for King County here.

The Driving Record and the Washington State Department of Licensing

Convictions are reported by the court to the Washington State Department of Licensing, which keeps the driving record and decides on points and suspensions. Order the driving record from that agency, not from the court.

Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the Washington State Department of Licensing like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.

A DUI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the Department of Licensing (see Woodinville DUI).
