Seattle People Search Is Not a Government Office. This is a private reference service. We cannot retrieve files, certify copies, verify a person's residence, or delete information from a database. Those requests belong with the record's custodian. Call 911 in an emergency. Contact local law enforcement if stalking or harassment is involved.
Where to Request a Record
Seattle records are divided among city, county, and state custodians. Use the route that matches the record:
- Deeds, liens, and recorded marriage documents: contact the King County Recorder and consult Seattle public records
- Court cases by participant: use the Seattle court records search routes for the correct court
- Birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates: start with vital records in Seattle
- Registration status or voter-file access: review Seattle voter registration records
- Government, university, property, and historic listings: browse Seattle people directories
- City records not posted online: submit a focused request through the Seattle Public Records Request Center under Washington's Public Records Act
