9-1-1 service is out in a big part of Washington State

Word this morning from SNOPAC in Everett saying emergency dispatch operations have been affected by an outage in the 9-1-1 system. Here’s what we know so far…

At approximately 0100 hours today Thursday, April 10, 2014, SNOCOM & SNOPAC became aware of an issue with incoming 9-1-1 calls failing to connect when dialing 9-1-1 in Snohomish County. The issue is affecting all 9-1-1 calls (traditional landline, VoIP Broadband and mobile/cellular phones). It became quickly known this is a larger regional issue, affecting all of Washington and Oregon. All local Western Washington 9-1-1 centers are having the same issue.

All calls are failing to connect when dialing 9-1-1.

Callers may get a fast busy, a recording saying 9-1-1 lines are down, or the call my fail to make any connection when they try to call 9-1-1.

Snohomish County callers should attempt to contact via ten digit lines that route to the 9-1-1 system until the problem is corrected by Century Link. No ETA for restoration of service has been provided at this point.
