Bothell Municipal Court

Our Mission

The Bothell Municipal Court is dedicated to ensuring the fair administration of justice within our community. As the third branch of government within the City of Bothell, the court handles a variety of cases, including traffic violations, misdemeanor and gross misdemeanors, and local ordinance violations. The court is also proud to support therapeutic court programming, probation-related classroom-style courses, jail-alternative options, community restoration services, and youth outreach. The court does not process felony matters.  

Bothell’s court is committed to providing a transparent, efficient, and respectful judicial experience for all. We prioritize accessibility for court participants, alleged victims, attorneys, jurors, third parties, and the public. Our team of skilled court professionals (including judges, judicial specialists, probation officers, and administrative staff) work diligently to provide excellent customer service, manage cases with integrity and impartiality, and ensure processes and proceedings are clear and understandable for all. We look forward to serving you.
