Terms of Use

These terms apply whenever you use Seattle People Search. Using the site means you accept them; if you do not accept them, please leave the site.

1. Nature of the Service

Seattle People Search is an independently operated reference site. It describes and links to public records, court indexes, directories, and lookup portals used to locate or identify people in Seattle, Washington. We host no government records and have no affiliation with an agency, court, or records custodian.


2. Acceptable Use

You must use the service and any information reached through it lawfully. Prohibited conduct includes attempts to:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
  • Locate a person protected by a restraining or protective order
  • Commit identity theft or fraud
  • Make FCRA-regulated decisions (credit, employment, tenant, insurance)
  • Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. No Consumer Reports

Seattle People Search is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq. Neither our content nor results from a linked search tool are consumer reports. They cannot be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-regulated purpose.


4. Links to Outside Sites

Links lead to government portals and outside services, including sponsored search tools. Each destination applies its own terms and privacy practices. Its content, uptime, prices, and data handling are beyond our control.


5. Warranty Disclaimer

The service is offered "as is" and "as available," with no express or implied warranty. We do not promise that content is accurate, complete, or current, or that a linked portal will stay online or produce correct results.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law permits, we are not responsible for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages tied to use of the service or a linked resource, including choices based on located records.


7. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the site's operators harmless from claims or demands, including reasonable attorneys' fees, caused by your misuse of the service or breach of these terms.


8. Intellectual Property

Copyright protects the site's original writing, design, logo, and layout. You may link to pages or quote short, attributed excerpts, but may not republish complete pages or copy the content systematically.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms by publishing a new version here. Continued use after publication constitutes acceptance of the revision.


10. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or block, without prior notice, a user who abuses the service or violates these terms.


11. Governing Law

Washington law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Government-record access discussed in the reference content is governed in part by the Washington Public Records Act, chapter 42.56 RCW, along with separate court rules and record-specific statutes.


12. Severability

If one provision is held unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect.
