Introduction: “They Took My Husband to Seattle—We Had Him Home by Noon”

Where Bellevue Arrests Are Processed: Seattle, Issaquah, & Beyond
Bellevue Police work with three regional jails:
| Jail | Address | Distance from Bellevue | Booking Process |
|---|---|---|---|
| King County Jail (Seattle) | 500 5th Ave, Seattle | 10 miles (15-20 mins) | Most common for felonies and overnight arrests. |
| Issaquah City Jail | 130 E Sunset Way, Issaquah | 8 miles (12-15 mins) | Used for misdemeanors and daytime bookings. |
| Renton City Jail | 1055 S Grady Way, Renton | 12 miles (20-25 mins) | Rare, but used during overcrowding. |
Key Takeaway: Over 80% of Bellevue arrestees go to King County Jail. We monitor all three facilities 24/7 to expedite releases.
3 Urgent Steps for Bellevue Families After an Arrest
1. Call a Local Bail Bondsman—Immediately
Bellevue’s lack of a jail means time is critical. All City Bail Bonds tracks bookings across all regional facilities:
📞 1-800-622-9991 (24/7 Bellevue hotline).
What We Need:
- Arrestee’s full name and birthdate.
- Arrest location (e.g., “Bellevue Downtown Park”).
2. Understand the Timeline
- Weekday Arrests: Arraignment within 24-48 hours.
