Release of Property:
The release of property is done by

Before evidence can be released, the case must be adjudicated with no
pending appeal, or a signed release from the Prosecutor handling the case
must be supplied. If there is more than one defendant in a case, evidence
will be held until all pending charges are adjudicated.
When claiming property, you
must provide photo identification. If you
are picking up property for another person, you
must have a signed, notarized
statement from the owner, giving you permission to pick up their property.
No property or evidence will be released to another party without a signed,
notarized statement from the owner of the property or evidence.
**YOU MUST CALL
AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT
TO PICK UP
PROPERTY AND/OR EVIDENCE**
Release of Firearms:
Per RCW & Federal standards, a
background check will be
done prior
to the release of any firearm.
Found Property:
To claim found property, the deputy will provide you with a Found Property
Rights Statement. On the back of your pink copy are directions for claiming
found property. A written appraisal for the fair market value of the item
in its current condition by either a qualified dealer of like item, or
a district court judge in the county where the property was found is required.
The appraisal must be submitted to the Sheriff's Office property/evidence
room. The person claiming found property is responsible for the cost of
an advertisement in the local newspaper for two consecutive weeks and
10% of the fair market value of the item they are claiming.
