Who Issues Warrants in Wahkiakum County
In Washington an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Wahkiakum County that means the Wahkiakum 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 court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at dw.courts.wa.gov (page title: Find My Court Date | WA.gov), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Wahkiakum County
Whether a warrant is out from Wahkiakum County shows in four places:
- The court file of the case, through the County Clerk, 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 360-795-3652, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Wahkiakum County Sheriff's Office at jailviewer.co.wahkiakum.wa.us, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Wahkiakum County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) 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 Wahkiakum County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Wahkiakum County starts with the County Clerk: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
