Sex Offender Information

The Community Protection Act of 1990 (which mandates sex offender registration) allows law enforcement agencies to track where sex offenders live. There are currently two websites which provide information on where level 2 and level 3 sex offenders live, as well as provide general and informative content regarding sex offenders in general.  These websites allow citizens to input an area code or other general information and receive information regarding specific information of level 2 and level 3 registered sex offenders.
 
The King County Sheriff's Office releases information on registered sex offenders in King County in accordance with the Community Protection Act of 1990 and related statutes. This information is not intended to create alarm or panic. The intent is to inform citizens and to enhance community safety and awareness.
 
These individuals have served the sentence imposed by the courts and in compliance with the Community Protection Act, have advised the King County Sheriff's Office that they will be living in King County. Please note, these individuals are not wanted by the police at this time. In addition, because there are no court ordered restrictions regarding their residency, neither the King County Sheriff's Office nor the Mercer Island Police Department have the legal authority to direct where a sex offender may or may not live.
 
Citizen abuse of this information to threaten, intimidate or harass registered sex offenders will not be tolerated. In fact, such abuse could end law enforcement's ability to notify the public.
