This site is privately owned and is not connected with a government agency, Sheriff, jail, corrections department, or court. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides consumer reports or services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or other FCRA-covered purposes. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
Nature of the Service
The site is a private navigation reference for public-facing Whatcom County and Washington records resources. It stores no official jail or court records, cannot confirm custody, cannot release anyone, and cannot file a request or document for a visitor. It may point to third-party research tools and official sources, but those sources control their own records and procedures.

Use the site lawfully and with respect for other people’s privacy and safety.
- Do not use site information to stalk, harass, threaten, or harm anyone.
- Do not attempt unauthorized access to the site or an external resource.
- Do not use automated bots, scrapers, or other disruptive collection methods.
- Do not interfere with another visitor’s use of the site.
- Do not use material for a decision prohibited by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
FCRA Restriction
This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It does not provide background checks, credit reports, consumer reports, or screening services, and neither do its advertising partners through this site. You agree not to use information from the site for hiring, firing, tenant or housing screening, creditworthiness, insurance premiums, licensing, permit, government-program eligibility, or any other purpose regulated by the FCRA.
Outside Resources
Links may lead to jail rosters, booking pages, Sheriff and corrections resources, courts, federal locators, legal resources, or outside search services. We do not control their content, privacy practices, availability, or terms. A link is not an endorsement, and visitors should review the external site’s own conditions.
No Warranties
The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant accuracy, completeness, currency, uninterrupted operation, freedom from defects or security issues, or the thoroughness of a partner result. Custody status and public records can change without notice, and no page here is an official statement of a government office.
Liability Limit
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site and its operator are not liable for damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the site or an external resource.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its operator harmless from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your use of the site or your violation of these terms.
Intellectual Property
The site’s text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Whatcom County Busted Mugshots or its content partners where applicable. You may not copy, distribute, alter, or republish them without written permission, except as law permits.
Updates and Access
We may change these terms at any time. New terms take effect when posted. We may limit or end access to the site at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
Washington Law and Severability
These terms are governed by Washington law, and disputes must be brought in courts within Washington where permitted. If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay effective and the affected provision will be adjusted only as necessary.
