How the Grant County Court Calendar Works
No single Grant County calendar PDF covers every trial court. The route depends on the court. For Superior Court cases, the Odyssey Portal offers Search Hearings plus a Hearings section. Washington Courts Find My Court Date is the fastest public tool. It works for District Court and municipal appearances.
A setting only marks a planned event. It settles nothing. An arraignment, motion hearing, contested infraction hearing, or trial may sit beside older dates that were moved. So read the newest event together with later orders and docket entries. Grant County Superior Court sits at 35 C Street NW, Floor 2, in Ephrata. District Court occupies Floor 3 there. It also runs a Moses Lake branch at 1525 E Wheeler Road. Whichever court the record names, its staff can confirm the setting.
Search Grant County Court Hearings in Odyssey
Odyssey serves as the public case-information system for Grant County Superior Court. Its Search Hearings screen narrows the court schedule by county, hearing type, search type, and date range. You can search by case number, party or business name, attorney name or bar number, judicial officer, or courtroom. The official guide also covers Soundex for similar names. Soundex will not combine with a wildcard.
Pick Grant County under Location by County. Choose the civil, criminal, family, probate, or mental-health category, and set a date range. A single match opens its Register of Actions; several show up in Search Results. The Hearings and Events sections help separate the latest setting from an earlier one. Anonymous access gives case information but does not promise filed document images.
Grant County Court Date Lookups
Let the paperwork lead. A citation, summons, notice of setting, or order names the court and often carries the most useful number, so start there and then work every channel that fits.
- For Superior Court, open Odyssey Search Hearings, select Grant County, choose the hearing and search types, enter dates, and submit.
- For District Court or a routed municipal matter, open Find My Court Date and try the case number before a name.
- Compare Hearings, Events, and disposition areas. Note the date, time, location, courtroom, officer, and setting type.
- Compare the result with the newest mailed or filed notice. No official countywide printed calendar page was found.
- For a conflict, phone District Court at 509-754-2016 or the County Clerk at 509-754-2015. Counsel may also check the file.
- For in-person help, use District Court in Ephrata or Moses Lake, or Clerk Room 218 for Superior records.
Grant County Court Schedule Locations
Tie any result to the right building. Superior Court and its clerk sit in the Law & Justice Building in Ephrata, where the Clerk occupies Room 218, Superior Court takes Floor 2, and District Court's Ephrata operation runs on Floor 3. The Moses Lake branch belongs to the same countywide District Court. It is not a separate database.
| Source | Venue | Confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Odyssey | Grant County Superior Court | County Clerk, 509-754-2015 |
| Find My Court Date | District and routed municipal matters | District Court, 509-754-2016 |
| Separate listing | George Municipal Court | 509-785-5081 |
For routing, the state court directory governs. Most Grant County municipal listings read "See Grant County District Court," though George stands apart. A city name on a ticket never proves a city-run calendar.
Grant County Court Settings: What Each Field Means
A hearing line shows where and when an event is planned, nothing more. It cannot prove the case ended or rule out a later change, so read it against the events and orders that follow.
| Date | The scheduled day within the selected search range. |
|---|---|
| Time | The listed start, which may be a docket-call time rather than an individual time. |
| Courtroom | The assigned room or calendar; verify the building for District Court. |
| Judge | The judicial officer tied to the setting, which may change. |
| Setting Type | Arraignment, motion, mitigation, contested hearing, show cause, trial, or review. |
Grant County Court Calendar Terms
Washington setting labels describe an event's purpose, not its result. In Grant County, records differ by case type and court level.
- Arraignment
- Charges and rights are addressed and a plea may be entered.
- Mitigation hearing
- The respondent admits an infraction and explains the circumstances.
- Contested hearing
- The respondent disputes an infraction.
- Show-cause hearing
- An event that may follow a missed mitigation or contested hearing.
- Civil motion or status
- A slot for a motion, scheduling, settlement, or status issue.
- Review
- A later event involving compliance, sentencing, probation, restitution, or another post-resolution issue.
A preliminary felony hearing in District Court handles early processing only. It is not the Superior Court trial. Jury and nonjury trial labels differ too, so read the whole entry instead of trusting a short title.
When a Grant County Court Date Moves
A continuance or reset moves a hearing or trial. The docket may keep the first event while adding a new hearing, order, or continuance entry. Grant County District Court links an Order of Continuance and Trial Status Confirmation form. That local practice is why a moved date deserves documentation. Keep one caution in mind: a canceled or stricken event does not prove dismissal.
Always check the events after the old setting. When a mailed notice and the public index disagree, call the clerk. The state index warns that clerk-entered data refreshes about every 24 hours and may be incomplete. A recent change can reach court staff or the file first. The public index shows it later.
Grant County Court Schedule and the 24-Hour Lag
The statewide search is a broad index spanning several court levels. Its approximate 24-hour refresh is context. It is not a guarantee that every setting posts within a day. A clerk enters the information first. The state itself warns that dates, dockets, judgments, and links can be incomplete.
Conflicting dates: Treat the newest filed notice or court confirmation as controlling, not an older result that remains online.
For Superior Court, compare the Odyssey Hearings and Events sections. For District Court, try Find My Court Date and call if the result looks stale. The Grant County docket search can pin down the case before you request records.
A Grant County Setting Is Not a Disposition
A Grant County setting tells you when something is scheduled, not how it ends. The disposition is the separate entry that records what actually happened. It covers a charge, claim, or issue. Reading one without the other gives you half the story. A preliminary felony hearing, for instance, marks an early stage in the criminal docket. A mitigation or review date tells you nothing about the outcome by itself.
So read disposition events, hearings, and the chronological record together. Words like committed, dismissed, guilty, deferred, and judgment signal results. They do so only when they appear in the right context. A date that vanishes from the docket may simply have been reset or replaced. That alone is never proof of a dismissal.
Missed Grant County Settings and What Comes Next
Miss a Grant County setting and the first move is a prompt call to the court. Have the case number and the missed date ready for staff. They can tell you whether a show-cause hearing, an order, or a new hearing has been set, though looking something up never changes a deadline, a warrant, or a failure-to-appear status.
Missed a setting? A missed appearance can lead to failure-to-appear action, a warrant, or other consequences based on the matter.
Call District Court at 509-754-2016 for its cases or the County Clerk at 509-754-2015 for Superior Court records.
Ask a licensed attorney about the effect of the missed date and the proper next filing or appearance.
Trust the court record over any general web result when you need to know what the judge or clerk entered after the missed hearing. The docket is where the answer lives. Act quickly even if the online index still shows nothing new.
Routing Grant County Calendar Questions
Who you contact in Grant County depends on which docket the hearing sits on. The Grant County Clerk supports three judges and one commissioner and manages all Superior Court records. Felony trials, major civil hearings, domestic matters, probate cases, and guardianships all run through that court. So start with Odyssey and then call the Clerk. The office sits in Room 218 at 35 C Street NW. The phone number is 509-754-2015. Counter hours run Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m., with phones answered until 5 p.m.
District Court is the other door. Traffic matters, infractions, misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors, preliminary felony hearings, limited civil claims, and small claims all belong there. Its direct line is 509-754-2016. The Ephrata office is at the county courthouse. The Moses Lake branch sits at 1525 E Wheeler Road. One caveat matters here: a preliminary felony date in District Court does not keep the trial there. If the case moves forward as a felony, Superior Court owns the trial docket from then on.
Grant County Calendar Technology Changes
Grant County runs on two generations of court technology. Superior Court joined Washington’s Odyssey rollout in 2018. The current guide covers Smart Search, Search Hearings, the case sections, and a 200-result display limit. District Court announced its own move from JIS to Enterprise Justice. The planned go-live is May 3, 2026. Courts across the state that have migrated to the newer limited-jurisdiction model also use re:SearchWA.
Why does this matter? An older instruction may point to a system name that no longer matches the workflow. The February 2026 state communication said re:SearchWA was live for participating courts. It never claimed every record had migrated at once. When a date is missing, check the current District Court page and confirm with staff. The March 2026 local notice described temporary e-ticket, filing, and JIS limits during transition work. That is exactly why a portal delay should not be mistaken for a canceled hearing.
