Snohomish County Jail, WA

To visit someone at Snohomish County Jail, register online first. You'll need to provide personal information and a profile photo, plus upload a clear selfie and the front and back of your state-issued photo ID—skip any of these, and you won't get approved. Social visits are remote only; there's no in-person contact for non-professional visitors. Each visit maxes out at 30 minutes. Need a place to video visit? The jail has three free kiosks in the cashier lobby (open 10am–7pm daily), though you'll still need an inmate communications vendor account to use them. Kiosk sessions allow only two adults and/or children—no purses, packages, food, drinks, or weapons. Professional on-site contact visits require scheduling at least 24 hours ahead. Fair warning: bringing contraband can lead to arrest and prosecution under RCW 9A.76.

You can't call someone inside Snohomish County Jail—incarcerated people must call you through the jail's phone system. Calls are either collect or paid through prepaid debit accounts, and each one is capped at 15 minutes. The jail uses Smart Communications for inmate calling. Depending on your setup, you may need to create a prepaid account before accepting calls. You'll also need a touch-tone phone. The system blocks three-way calls to prevent unauthorized connections. Getting unwanted calls? Contact Smart Communications at 1-727-349-1561 to block them. Only the listed phone number owner can request an unblock.

Sending mail to someone at Snohomish County Jail is simple once you know the right address. All personal letters go to an out-of-state processing center in Seminole, Florida, where they're scanned and delivered digitally to the inmate. The originals get destroyed after scanning. Important: personal mail sent to 3025 Oakes Ave, Everett will be returned—use the Florida PO Box instead. Legal mail works differently. Mark the envelope "LEGAL MAIL" clearly and send it to 3025 Oakes Ave, Everett, WA 98201 for proper legal-mail processing. Don't send cash, checks, or money in personal mail; use the jail's approved deposit options. Care packages aren't accepted by mail or direct delivery either—order approved items through Access Securepak online.
