Issaquah Municipal Court Offers Warrant Amnesty Program

ISSAQUAH, WA — For the next few months, the Issaquah Municipal Court will help clear certain bench warrants through an easy administrative process. King County's "Back on Track" program runs between April 1 and June 30, allowing many people with warrants under $5,000 to have them immediately removed and a new court date scheduled, according to city officials.

Warrants valued above $5,000, or any that involve domestic violence charges, no contact orders, driving under the influence, physical control, reckless driving, and first-degree negligent driving will be referred to a judge for further consideration.

People with outstanding bench warrants are encouraged to contact the court where the warrant was issued. Requests are accepted by phone, e-mail, or in writing.

Issaquah Municipal Court can be reached by phone at 425-837-3170 and by e-mail.

In a news release, Issaquah officials said the court may require specific citation information, case numbers, personal identification and updated contact information. Those who do not know their case numbers can also get help locating them.
