Shoreline Arrest FAQ’s

The city of Shoreline does not have its own prosecutor’s office, instead it contracts with a private law firm called Moberly & Roberts to handle its misdemeanor cases. This law firm represents several other King County municipalities.

However, if you’ve been charged with a felony in either Shoreline or Kenmore your case will held in the King County Superior Courthouse located in Seattle. Felony charges or arrests made by a Washington State Trooper or King County Sheriff’s Deputy are considered “state cases” and are prosecuted by the King County prosecutor’s office also located in downtown Seattle.
