Chelan County provides public access computers in the Clerk's Office where you can search court records going back to 1900 and view document images at no charge. This is one of the more generous access arrangements in the state. If you print documents from the terminals, the fee is $0.25 per page plus a $1 service fee. Certified copies cost more and require staff processing.

Wenatchee Jail and Inmate Records

The Chelan County Regional Jail maintains an inmate list that is available online at co.chelan.wa.us/regional-jail/inmate-list. This shows current inmates with their charges and booking information.
