Today marks one week since our Community Crisis Responders — or "CARE team" — expanded their daily, citywide hours to 6:30-1:00 AM. 📈 We saw a 25% increase in CCR events last week, compared to the week prior.

And they're off! The Community Crisis Responders' first 6:30 AM shift got their first call at 6:30 AM on the dot.

As the home of Seattle’s 911 Communications Center, our hearts go out to all the call-takers, dispatchers, and emergency responders who are helping tens of thousands of people evacuate the wildfires on the other side of our state. Spokane County, we are sending our love to you.

[Seattle CARE Department @seattlecaredept]

Congratulations, Interim Chief Sayles!

Meanwhile, the search for a second suspect continues. If you have any information about the shooting, call the SPD tipline (206-233-5000).

[Seattle CARE Department @seattlecaredept]

We want to take a moment to appreciate the 911 call-takers and dispatchers who handled a spike in calls during and after the shooting last night, and who coordinated additional resources to secure the scene. Thank you, 911 division.

@WDFW Also, don't feed raccoons. That seems to start fights between neighbors, and raccoons are notoriously great at finding their own food. 🖤🤍

[Seattle CARE Department @seattlecaredept]

Apropos of absolutely nothing, our 911 Communications Center receives dozens of calls each year about raccoons. Some of them are pretty serious! Others are... less serious.

So, just a reminder...

[Seattle CARE Department @seattlecaredept]

@WDFW DO NOT call 911...
🦝 To report a raccoon sighting
🦝 If a raccoon has been chilling in your yard for a long time
🦝 If you think a raccoon is in your house, but you're not sure yet

Heads up Seattle! We have heat incoming this week. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for Tuesday and Wednesday. See the trusty graphic below to find out what that means and some of the steps you can take to keep yourself, your loved ones, and your pets safe.

Here's more on all the languages we translate: https://t.co/snvYFSjTWz

[Seattle CARE Department @seattlecaredept]

Did you know we translate nearly 300 languages at Seattle's 911 Communications Center? Including...

[Seattle CARE Department @seattlecaredept]

We told you we can translate nearly 300 languages at our 911 Communications Center. On World Cup match days, we proved it, translating 911 calls into several of the top languages spoken in Seattle and others we anticipated from possible visitors.

[Seattle CARE Department @seattlecaredept]

Major props to our 911 staff who came ready to keep first responders safe and emergency impacts to a minimum.

[Seattle CARE Department @seattlecaredept]

The numbers are in: our 911 Communications Center handled a total of 11,304 calls on Seattle's six World Cup match days. That's only a slight increase from the same dates in 2025, a sign of our public safety partners' fantastic collaboration over the course of the tournament.
