MoreAlerts, scanner feeds, and what this is

Scanner feeds

Public-safety radio from this county that somebody is streaming online, with what the feed actually carries.

What is streamed is each county’s. In Whatcom, fire dispatch for the whole county, the sheriff and Bellingham police on one feed, and the north-county fire district that answers Blaine, Birch Bay and Ferndale; nothing streamed is Point Roberts’ own, and nothing separates Lummi Island. In the islands, the sheriff’s dispatch and Shaw Island’s fire department. In Skagit, one feed carrying the county’s police on one side and fire and EMS on the other, and the State Patrol. In King, Seattle Fire, the sheriff’s southwest precinct that answers Burien and Vashon, Federal Way’s police and the State Patrol; nothing streamed is Vashon’s own fire district. In Kitsap, one feed carrying the sheriff, fire, EMS and Bremerton police together, the State Patrol, and marine VHF over the peninsula’s water. What each feed carries is its own listing on Broadcastify, not something this page has checked against the radio.

Run by volunteers, not by any agency. It plays an ad first, runs a minute or so behind the radio, and can go quiet without notice; Broadcastify’s page shows whether it is on. Not a way to get help: call 911.
