Seattle personal ops portal
Fast access to alerts, transit, health, civic, and weather references in one scannable board.
At a glance
Search the board, bookmark recurring references, and jump straight to source links.
🚨 Immediate awareness
The fastest paths to dispatch visibility, city alerts, and official reporting.
Official dispatch view
Minimal live incident table for fire and EMS calls, with location, unit, and time context.
Useful as a quick situational check when you want the city's public fire and EMS dispatch feed without map-heavy UI.
Official city broadcast
Seattle's official emergency alert system for text, email, and phone notices about major hazards and disruptions.
Use this as the first stop for official citywide notifications covering safety, health, transport, and utility events.
Non-emergency reporting
Official entry points for police guidance, eligible online reports, and recent calls or crime maps.
Seattle Police File an online report Crime maps
This is the practical branch for incidents that do not require an emergency call but still need official documentation or follow-up.
Preparedness hub
Preparedness pathways for training, neighborhood planning, hazard overviews, and emergency hubs.
Emergency Management Prepare your neighborhood
Less urgent than the live-alert notes, but the right place to build durable preparedness habits before you need them.
🚌 Daily movement
Transit planning, travel conditions, and the quickest operational views for getting around.
Street conditions
Real-time traffic conditions for Seattle streets and nearby freeways, with linked camera views and incident context.
Open travelers map Traffic cameras
Best when you need to decide whether traffic, closures, or camera-confirmed conditions change a trip.
Transit changes
Official delay, reroute, closure, and service-change feed for Metro routes, including weather-linked disruptions.
Service advisories Trip planner Alert signup
This is the official place to confirm whether a planned route is rerouted, delayed, or suspended before you leave.
Arrival timing
Puget Sound real-time arrivals and route lookup for stop-code checks when you are already in motion.
Open OneBusAway Metro app list
Not the same as official advisories, but usually the quickest check for "is my bus close?" style decisions.
Regional travel status
Route status, travel bulletins, live vessel tracking, and terminal operations for ferry-dependent trips.
Ferries hub Travel bulletins VesselWatch
Use this cluster when ferry travel is the trip bottleneck and you need route alerts, terminal status, or vessel positions fast.
🩺 Health and crisis
Public-health services and time-sensitive support paths that are still distinct from emergency dispatch.
Care access
Directory of Public Health - Seattle & King County clinics and service locations, plus vaccine access references.
Clinic directory Vaccination locations
A strong starting point when you need county health services rather than a hospital brand or urgent-care search engine.
Behavioral crisis support
County and statewide pathways for mental-health crisis support, including when to use 988 instead of emergency dispatch.
King County crisis services WA 988 988 Lifeline
Useful when you need a clearer escalation path between immediate danger, behavioral-health crisis support, and follow-on care.
Fast specialist advice
Free expert poisoning guidance for medication, household, food, and environmental exposure questions.
Washington Poison Center PoisonHelp
Keep this one handy for urgent ingestion or exposure questions that need rapid specialist guidance.
🏛️ City workflows
Shortcuts for city contact paths, public-benefit entry points, and common administrative tasks.
General city contact
Central contact hub that pulls together 911, 311-style service paths, and key utility emergency numbers.
Contact hub City officials directory
This is the practical note for "who do I contact?" questions that are urgent enough to matter but not necessarily emergencies.
Common transactions
Single entry page for common city payment and application workflows such as tickets and municipal requests.
Best when you know the city workflow exists but do not want to hunt through department navigation first.
Benefits and support
Statewide gateway for benefits applications, prescreening, and social-service navigation when you need a formal entry point.
Washington Connection See if I qualify Washington 211
This is a more durable support note than a single city transaction link, because it helps with benefits and service discovery.
🌦️ Conditions and risk
Forecasts, air quality, and hazard context for planning ahead rather than reacting late.
Forecast baseline
Official forecast point page and regional office hub for warnings, watches, and day-to-day Seattle conditions.
NWS Seattle office Seattle point forecast
Good primary weather note when you want the official warning source before checking secondary dashboards.
Smoke season check
State air-quality map and wildfire-smoke guidance for checking conditions before outdoor plans or ventilation decisions.
Air quality map Smoke guidance
Useful for quick "is it smoke, fog, or just gloomy?" questions and for deciding how cautious to be with outside plans.
Planning map
Interactive local hazard map that layers planning context, facilities, and vulnerability information for preparedness work.
Hazard explorer All hazards overview USGS quake map
This is the board's long-horizon planning note: stronger for understanding place-based risk than for immediate operational alerts.
