Seattle Breaking — Monday, June 16, 2025

Daily recap · 311 dispatches

Seattle's fire, medical, traffic, and police agencies cleared 311 dispatches across the city on Monday, June 16, 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 211 medical-aid responses, 6 traffic-related dispatches, and 41 fire-category calls, with 0 police clearances and 0 hazardous-materials dispatches rounding out the picture.

The busiest hour citywide was 18:00–19:00 local time, with 24 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 311 dispatch records published by the Seattle Fire Department and the Seattle Police Department through the Seattle Open Data portal for Monday, June 16, 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.
