The Chelan County Court Calendar
For Superior Court settings, the Chelan County Clerk calendar page is the main local stop. It leads to both the daily calendar and the Odyssey hearing search. Keep the two straight. A calendar is just the public schedule on display. The case docket holds each case's own history of settings, changes, and finished events. District and municipal cases run differently. They go through the state Find My Court Date service and the limited-court case view instead. According to the county, matters from Wenatchee, Chelan, Cashmere, and Leavenworth may land in Chelan County District Court. So when a search result shows a city label, check it against the court actually named on the case.
Chelan Calendar Four-O'Clock Cutoff
The Clerk posts additions and changes by 4 p.m. on the court day before. Anything altered after that cutoff may never show up online. The web calendar is a solid reference, but it is not live courtroom control. A notice from the court can be fresher. A quick confirmation from the clerk can be too. The county's official calendar source and its cutoff notice explain the rule.
That posting rule is why a setting can disagree with a saved screen or an old search result.
How to Find Your Court Date
Begin with the case number and the court level. Felony charges, major civil disputes, and domestic matters generally sit in Superior Court. So do probate, guardianship, and juvenile cases. Misdemeanors, infractions, and criminal traffic generally sit in District Court. So do small claims, qualifying civil cases, protection orders, and city-routed matters. Searching the wrong branch may return nothing even though a hearing exists.
- Search the case in Washington Courts Case Search and record the court and full case number.
- For Superior Court, check the county calendar, Odyssey Events and Hearings, or Odyssey Search Hearings.
- For District or municipal matters, use Find My Court Date and the limited-court case view.
- Compare the date, time, room, proceeding type, status, and appearance instructions with the issued notice.
- If the result is absent or unclear, call Superior Court at 509-667-6210, District Court at 509-667-6600, or Juvenile Court at 509-667-6350.
- Visit the responsible clerk counter or courthouse-posted calendar when online access does not resolve the conflict.
A public case number is the fastest key into the calendar. Name-only searches can pull up several people at once. The full number ties a court date to the right case.
Chelan Court Date Search Tools
Find My Court Date and Odyssey Search Hearings cover different court levels. The state date service handles municipal and district matters. You can query it by court name, first and last name, plus a verification challenge. Results may include a case summary. They may also carry daily calendar information and detailed activity.
| Tool | Best use in Chelan County | Key fields |
|---|---|---|
| Find My Court Date | District and municipal settings | Court, first name, last name, verification |
| Odyssey Search Hearings | Superior Court settings | Location, hearing type, dates, case, party, judge, room |
| County calendar | Published Superior schedule | Date, case, proceeding, courtroom, officer |
| Clerk confirmation | Missing, restricted, or recently changed setting | Case number and issued notice |
No search tool overrides the court's current order. Find My Court Date refreshes daily, and the county calendar carries its own prior-day cutoff.
Reading a Court Setting
Read a Chelan County court setting as a set of fields rather than one line. Date and time tell you when to appear; court and courtroom tell you where. The judge or commissioner field names the judicial officer. Proceeding type gives the purpose of the setting. Status shows whether the event is scheduled, continued, reset, struck, or canceled.
| Case number | The case tied to the setting and the safest lookup key. |
|---|---|
| Date and time | The scheduled start, subject to a later court change. |
| Courtroom | The assigned physical or remote location when shown. |
| Judicial officer | The listed judge or commissioner. |
| Proceeding type | Arraignment, pretrial, motion, trial, review, show cause, or another event. |
| Status | Scheduled, continued, reset, struck, canceled, or transferred. |
| Appearance note | Remote or in-person instruction, when published. |
A party display or case type helps confirm you have the right case. Still, never assume a name match alone proves it.
Chelan Court Calendar Setting Terms
Proceeding labels describe a setting's purpose. They do not reveal the outcome. Washington's official references pair words with codes, and the surrounding docket activity supplies the context those codes need.
- Arraignment
- An early criminal appearance at which the charge and plea are addressed.
- Pretrial
- A setting used to manage a case before plea or trial.
- Motion hearing
- A hearing on a request for the court to act.
- Review
- A later check on status, compliance, or another ordered issue.
- Show cause
- A setting requiring a person to explain why the court should not take stated action.
- Evidentiary hearing
- A proceeding at which evidence is presented for a ruling.
Translate codes like ARRAIGN, PTMHRG, and RVWHRG through the official code source rather than guessing.
Resets, Continuances, and Cancellations
A continuance pushes a proceeding to a later date. A reset places it on another setting. A struck or canceled entry takes the listed event off the calendar. None of those labels dismisses the case by itself, so hunt for the next dated entry along with any filed order or notice. Limited-court shorthand may show CONTd for continued, STRIKE for a struck setting, TRA for transfer, or COV for change of venue. If one system still lists the old date, trust the newer court notice and call the clerk to confirm when and where to appear.
Chelan Remote Court Calendar Settings
Chelan County District Court generally allows arraignments, pretrials, readiness hearings, and dispositions to proceed remotely without advance approval. That freedom holds unless the court orders otherwise. Evidentiary hearings, trials, motions, and conditions-of-release hearings normally happen in person absent an approved arrangement. The event type matters as much as any Zoom notation.
The electronic systems are easy to mix up. TrueFiling accepts optional Superior Court filings, but it does not publish the public hearing calendar. The official TrueFiling instructions draw that line between filing and public access.
A filing that goes through is not a date that was granted. It does not add anything to the Chelan County court calendar by itself.
Chelan Calendar and Record Systems
OnBase is a county electronic document endpoint, not the calendar product. Its access terms and fees changed in 2026. Odyssey holds case information, Events and Hearings, and a separate Search Hearings tool, while the calendar page publishes the daily schedule. Each system answers a different question. The official OnBase subscriber notice spells out the terms.
Use OnBase to chase down an available document. It will not prove the current hearing time. The county's OnBase endpoint is the access point for that system.
The portal login underscores the split between document access and the public Chelan County court calendar.
What To Do If You Miss a Setting
Move fast once you realize you missed a court date. Chelan County District Court handles criminal and criminal-traffic settings first at the clerk counter. Bring your case number. Ask staff whether a warrant issued and how to get it quashed. Infraction cases run differently. If you skipped a mitigation or contested setting, the court may want a written response or a show-cause appearance. Any request has to reach the county within 30 days. That deadline is firm. Filing does not pause a licensing suspension, so send it early and plan around the license risk while you wait.
If a setting was missed:
Contact the responsible clerk at once and provide the full case number.
Check the docket for a warrant, failure-to-appear entry, show-cause date, or reset.
Follow the court's written direction rather than assuming an online request pauses other consequences.
For Superior Court, call the court or the County Clerk to see what the docket now shows. An old printout of the calendar may be out of date, so trust the clerk's answer instead.
