If you’re looking for a quick and inexpensive way to do a background check on a babysitter, prospective employee, etc. this service is great. For less than $10, you can do a complete search of every District, Municipal and Superior court record in Washington state. I’ve used it to screen (and reject) potential tenants, employees and child care providers for myself and friends. Set up an account over the phone, get your password and start searching within minutes. Just make sure you have a complete name (date of birth helps also if possible) to make sure you’ve got the right person.
