RECAP is a free extension for Firefox that improves the experience of using PACER. A free archive of previously downloaded PACER content is available for searching.

A searchable RECAP archive.

Free search by name across the entire state or search by docket number or organization/business name within a particular court. Access to docket information only. Seattle Municipal Court data does not always display on the Washington courts search so a separate search using the link below is a good idea.

Search for civil, criminal, and judgment court records, and find current jail inmates. Full-text court pleadings are available for purchase. Co-defendant information is also listed.

View the full-text documents from Seattle Municipal Court cases filed after June 23, 2014. Use Internet Explorer for best viewing results.

Search full-text opinions from state and federal courts (including federal district courts). Coverage dates are difficult to determine conclusively, but it goes back at least until the 1950s for most jurisdictions, though holdings for US Supreme Court cases go back much farther.
