Seattle Breaking — Saturday, June 1, 2024

Daily recap · 1137 dispatches

Seattle's fire, medical, traffic, and police agencies cleared 1137 dispatches across the city on Saturday, June 1, 2024, according to the Seattle Open Data feeds published by the Seattle Fire Department and the Seattle Police Department. The day's activity was led by 229 medical-aid responses, 124 traffic-related dispatches, and 36 fire-category calls, with 685 police calls and 0 hazardous-materials dispatches rounding out the picture.

The busiest hour citywide was 12:00–13:00 local time, with 67 dispatches in that single hour. Among higher-severity incidents — structure fires, working fires, shootings, stabbings, robberies, and serious assaults — the feeds recorded 2 events, listed below. As elsewhere on this site, these counts reflect what agencies published rather than what was reported to 911, and the police data in particular is refreshed about once a day, so recent days may still be filling in.

Dispatches inside the bounding boxes used by our neighborhood feeds, plus a count for everywhere else in the city. Smaller neighborhoods produce smaller counts; this is a function of population and land use, not a measure of safety. For the longer reasoning, see neighborhood dispatch patterns.

About this recap

This page summarizes 1137 dispatch records published by the Seattle Fire Department and the Seattle Police Department through the Seattle Open Data portal for Saturday, June 1, 2024. Fire records publish within minutes of dispatch; police records are refreshed by the city about once a day, so on very recent days the police count may be incomplete until the next refresh. "Notable" is a simple severity flag based on call-type strings (structure fires, working fires, shootings, stabbings, robberies, assaults, hazmat). Counts are exact for what the feeds published; the category mapping into fire / medical / traffic / police / hazmat is our own and documented on the How It Works page.
