Misdemeanors $750 – Felonies $850 (a deposit of $250 starts the process, Payment plans available)
The Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapter 10.97.060 allows a person to petition the court to seal their non-conviction data (criminal history that has not led to a conviction). This prevents the embarrassment or potential discrimination caused by records of an arrest. Once sealed, the arresting agency will be ordered to delete any non-conviction data. Nobody will be able to learn about the arrest and it is treated as if it did not occur.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT RECORD SEALING
What is the difference between vacating and sealing?
Record sealing, which can be done after vacating a conviction or for an arrest that did not lead to a conviction, (GR-15) seals the records so only the judge or an authorized court personnel can view them. Vacating takes the conviction off of the record and gives you the right to say you do not have a criminal record— but the records of a case without a find of guilt remains.
