Washington Juvenile Record SealingAnnotated Revised Code of Washington § 13.50.050 
If you were convicted as a juvenile in Washington, your record remains public information until it is sealed or expunged. However, you may be eligible to petition the court for a juvenile record sealing.
Washington allows individuals to have their juvenile criminal records sealed. If you were convicted of a crime in Washington as a juvenile, you may have a record that is open to public view. Because juvenile records do not automatically disappear when an individual turns 18, all juvenile records will remain open for the public to view unless you get the court to "seal" them. Once sealed, the records are protected from public examination.

Do you have payment plans?
We can create a payment plan that meets your needs. Please view the pricing for details regarding the payment plans.
How long does the process take?
Typically, the case takes about three to four months.
Do I have to disclose it ever?
Once your records are sealed, you do not have to disclose the case and can answer with confidence to any inquiry or to an application for employment that you have not been convicted of a crime.
Why would I want to seal my juvenile record?
After you complete your sentence for a juvenile offense, the court does not automatically seal the records. Therefore, the records are available to the public and you have to petition the court to seal the records. The order seals the juvenile court file, the social file (probation reports and information), and other records relating to the case as are named in the order. Once your record is sealed, it is as though the offense never occurred.
Will it still show up on my background check?
That depends on the type of background check that is used. If the employer does your standard commercial background check, the case will not appear. An FBI background check may still show the juvenile offense.
