Wenatchee, WA Chelan County Juvenile Detention Facility View
Chelan County Juvenile Detention Facility is a county juvenile detention facility in Wenatchee, Washington, operated by Chelan County juvenile justice authorities. It holds youth who are detained on juvenile court matters, including those awaiting hearings, placement, or other court action, and may also house juveniles serving short local detention sanctions.

Because juvenile records and custody information are often restricted under Washington law, public access to details may be more limited than at adult county jails.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Chelan County Juvenile Detention Facility
Juvenile custody information is often limited to parents, legal guardians, attorneys, and authorized agencies. Adult county jail rosters typically list a person’s name, booking date, charges, and custody status, but juvenile rosters may not be publicly searchable or may show limited information. After a booking, processing can take several hours, so records may not appear immediately even when access is allowed. Use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or contact the facility or juvenile court directly if the person is a minor and the online search does not show results.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Chelan County Juvenile Detention Facility?
Visits are usually limited to approved parents, guardians, attorneys, or other authorized visitors. Contact the facility before going to confirm visiting hours, approval requirements, and any limits set by the court or detention staff.
What do I need to bring when visiting Chelan County Juvenile Detention Facility?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and any documents showing your relationship to the youth if requested. Leave phones, bags, and personal items in your vehicle or in an approved area, as secure facilities limit what visitors may bring inside.

How does the commissary work?
Juvenile facilities may provide basic hygiene items, clothing, and meals, and some allow limited commissary purchases. Contact the facility to learn whether money can be deposited, what items are allowed, and any spending limits.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Chelan County Juvenile Detention Facility?
In juvenile cases, release decisions are usually made by the juvenile court rather than handled the same way as adult bail. A judge may decide whether the youth is released to a parent or guardian, held for another hearing, or placed under specific conditions.
What happens during the intake process at Chelan County Juvenile Detention Facility and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff typically confirm identity, review the reason for detention, conduct safety and health screening, and assign housing. Processing can take several hours, and juvenile information may not appear in a public search because access is often restricted.
