About the Skagit County Jail

The Skagit County Jail is a 400 bed, 107,800 square foot state of the art facility. It was built in 2017 at a cost of $60 million on the site of a former Truck Stop off of Highway 99. It is housed in the Skagit County Community Justice Center. The actual physical address is 201 Suzanne Lane in Mount Vernon, Washington 98273, and can be reached 24 hours a day by calling 360-416-1960.

The Skagit County Jail replaced the old Skagit Jail, an 83-bed facility that was built in 1984, and that typically housed 200+ inmates, with dozens more being housed at the Snohomish County Jail. It was so crowded that by the time the new jail was built, the Sheriff had a policy of not locking people up unless they had at least seven warrants for their arrest.

The new 400 bed Skagit County Jail is made up of single cell pods, quad cell pods, double cell units, and four dormitory units for inmate workers and work release inmates. Intotal there are seven detention pods that are overseen by a single centrally located control tower that can see into each of the pods from up above, and with the 280+ cameras that are on the control tower's screens.

The Skagit County Jail was designed so that in the future they can double its size, expanding to 800 beds, 165,000 square feet, and increasing the size of the parking lot from 100 parking spaces to 155.

Operated by the Skagit County Sheriff and their staff of corrections deputies, this facility is open around the clock to book new inmates as needed. Staff are also responsible for all transportation of inmates to either medical or court appointments as well as any transfers. Both medical care and the nutrition program are contracted out to local providers. Operations of the home monitoring program are also provided from this jail and a court coordinator is present to assist in resolving cases that have charges from several different jurisdictions. Jail alternatives programs are in place to allow qualified inmates to serve sentences in a way that is most beneficial. They include the litter crew and community work programs that encourage inmates to complete tasks around the community to give back, and the work release program allows inmates to maintain their job while they are incarcerated and serve their sentences overnights. 

You can look up the inmates in custody on the Skagit County Jail Roster and Booking Reports. While the Roster does not provide inmate and offender mugshots, it does provide criminal charges, housing location (which you will need for using the video visitation and receiving phone calls), bond, court information, arresting agency, scheduled release, releases, previous arrests and lots of other relevant and personal information.

Mail can be received every day and is processed and passed to the inmates quickly. Friends and family of inmates in the Skagit County Jail can arrange to visit inmates by video, both at the jail and remotely from home. Friends and family can also send them money and buy them commissary online, and set up a phone account that allows the inmates to call them during the day and evening seven days a week.

All the information on these inmate services can be found in the sections below.  If you still have questions, you can phone the jail 24 hours a day by calling 360-416-1960.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

Understanding the booking process at Skagit County Jail

After an arrest, individuals are taken to Skagit County Jail where they go through booking. This process includes identifying the person, reviewing charges, and determining whether they will be released on their own, eligible for bail, or detained until their court date.

It’s crucial to remain silent after being arrested. Anything said may be used in court, so it’s better to refrain from speaking until consulting with an attorney.

The following steps outline the booking procedure at Skagit County Jail:

  • Personal identification verification.
  • Taking photographs (mugshots).
  • Medical and mental health assessment, as well as inquiries about substance use.
  • Possibly collecting DNA samples.
  • Performing a full-body search.
  • Seizing personal belongings for safekeeping.
  • Allowing one phone call.

Booking can take from a short hour to longer periods, especially on busy nights or with uncooperative individuals. For inquiries about posting bond for an arrestee, call the facility at 360-416-1960.

Steps:
Register and/or log in.
Select the facility of your inmate.

How do you know if your Inmate will be available during the time you schedule?
