NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify Pierce County and Washington criminal-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, independent of every government office. It does not store official criminal records, submit filings, retrieve records, or conduct official checks.
Its pages identify the Pierce County Sheriff, local courts, Washington State Patrol, and Washington Sex Offender Public Registry as custodians, and may provide access to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Users must not:
- Use the website in violation of federal, Washington, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
- Use site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system
- Deploy scrapers, bots, or other automated collection tools
- Disrupt performance or prevent access by other visitors
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use information found here or through a linked tool to threaten, intimidate, stalk, harass, or discriminate. Washington registry information exists for public protection under RCW 4.24.550. It does not authorize vigilantism, blacklisting, or discriminatory action against a listed person, and misuse may violate the law.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create a background check, credit report, or consumer report. Data from the website or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
A legally regulated background check must come from an authorized, FCRA-compliant provider or the appropriate official channel.
5. No Legal Advice
The material is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Washington attorney can advise how a charge, warrant, conviction, vacation rule, or sealing process applies to a specific person.
6. No Warranties
All material is provided "as is," without any promise that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Records can change when charges are filed, dismissed, vacated, or sealed. Delays and gaps are possible. Nothing published here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, or government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to courts, sheriff resources, state agencies, legal services, and outside search providers. We do not control a destination's content, availability, pricing, or data practices. Its own terms apply after a visitor leaves this website.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, code, graphics, and logos belong to Pierce County Criminal History or its content partners. Written permission is required to copy, distribute, alter, or build upon that material.

A user agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, and proceedings caused by that user's conduct or breach of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Washington law, including applicable provisions of the Consumer Protection Act in chapter 19.86 RCW, governs these terms. Any dispute tied to website use must be brought in a court located in Washington.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised. A revision takes effect when the new version is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, with or without notice.
