As of June 2017, Snohomish County changed its Superior Court case computerized management system from SCOMIS to Odyssey Case Manager. Case numbers created under the SCOMIS system will have the same number in the same format (YY-T-SSSSS-C). SCOMIS case numbers can be accessed through the Odyssey portal. Case numbers created under the Odyssey system will have this format: YY-T-SSSSS-CC, with YY denoting the last two digits of the year, T denoting the type (1 for Criminal, 2 for Civil, 3 for Dissolution, 4 for Probate/Guardianship, etc.), S denoting the serial number, CC denoting the check digits. For example: 17-4-55123-84 denotes the 55,123rd Probate case filed in 2017. The check digits denote a randomized internal code used to prevent clerks from misfiling the case on the shelf.
