Seattle Breaking — Friday, June 13, 2025

Daily recap · 328 dispatches

Seattle's fire, medical, traffic, and police agencies cleared 328 dispatches across the city on Friday, June 13, 2025, 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 231 medical-aid responses, 9 traffic-related dispatches, and 44 fire-category calls, with 0 police clearances and 0 hazardous-materials dispatches rounding out the picture.

The busiest hour citywide was 13:00–14:00 local time, with 23 dispatches in that single hour. Among higher-severity incidents — structure fires, working fires, shootings, stabbings, robberies, and serious assaults — the feeds recorded 0 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 publishes only after each call is cleared and may continue to settle as more clearances post.

Notable incidents

No incidents on this day were flagged as high-severity by our scoring. A quiet day on the high-severity side does not mean a quiet day overall — most dispatch activity is low-severity aid and traffic calls. See the breakdowns below for the day's full picture.

About this recap

This page summarizes 328 dispatch records published by the Seattle Fire Department and the Seattle Police Department through the Seattle Open Data portal for Friday, June 13, 2025. Fire records publish within minutes of dispatch; police records publish only after the responding officer files a clearance code, which typically lags the actual event by several hours, so on very recent days a police count may climb as more clearances post. "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.
