How to Get Money to an Inmate at Snohomish County Jail: online, by phone, or at the window
Need to put money on someone's account at Snohomish County Jail? You've got a few options—some faster than others. Here's how each method works, what's accepted, and the details that most often cause deposits to get delayed or rejected.
Access Secure Deposits is the fastest option, available 24/7 by phone or online. Call 866-345-1884 for phone deposits, or go through the Access Corrections website. You can pay with a debit or credit card, and the money typically posts within 5 minutes - any time, any day. Have the inmate's 7-digit global subject number handy before you start (the online form requires it).
Heads up about fees: Access Secure Deposits charges a non-refundable fee for phone and internet deposits, and the customer pays that fee. Check the total (deposit amount + fee) before you hit confirm.

Already heading to the jail, or prefer not to use a card? The Inmate Account window handles in-person deposits. Just make sure you bring what they accept - cash, a cashier's check, or a money order - so you don't waste a trip.
- Make it payable to Snohomish County Corrections (SCC) - Money orders and cashier’s checks have to be made out to Snohomish County Corrections (SCC).
- Leave the inmate’s name off the payable line - Don’t put the inmate’s name as the payee; the jail says they will be unable to cash it.
- Put identification details in the Memo/Note field - Clearly write the inmate’s name and 7-digit global subject number in the Note or Memo field so the funds can be posted correctly.
Here's something that catches families off guard: if the inmate owes money, deposits don't go entirely to spending. At Snohomish County Jail, 60% of any deposit goes toward the debt and 40% goes to the inmate's spendable balance.
Mail deposits are no longer accepted. Snohomish County Jail discontinued personal mail deposits effective May 1, 2022. Use Access Secure Deposits (phone or online) or visit the Inmate Account window instead.
Window hours can differ from the “normal” schedule: The Inmate Account window is normally open 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., seven days a week, but a staffing-shortage notice says that effective October 12, 2025, hours are reduced to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Verify current hours before you go.
Planning to deposit at the window? Confirm the current hours before you leave - especially if you're coming from outside Everett. If the hours are uncertain or don't work for your schedule, Access Secure Deposits is a reliable backup: available 24/7 and posts within minutes.
