King County 911 centers experiencing high volumes
Non-emergency calls urged not to dial 9-1-1
Due to the severe weather in the region this evening, King County Emergency 9-1-1 centers are experiencing overwhelming high call volumes with non emergency calls. These non-emergency calls are blocking true emergency calls from reaching the 9-1-1 services.
Citizens with life threatening emergencies in need of an immediate police, fire, or medical response should call 9-1-1. All non-life threatening calls are urged to use an alternate phone number for the appropriate local agency.
