911 service restored in most of Western Washington; here's where to call if it still doesn't work for you [telecom]

Some agencies were able to take 911 calls Friday morning, but police and fire authorities recommend people dial alternate emergency numbers if they experience issues.

Many Western Washington agencies began receiving 911 calls again on Friday morning after CenturyLink network issues had prevented callers from getting through to call centers. Some systems still aren't fully running, and emergency officials are advising people to call alternate numbers if they can't get through.

Law-enforcement agencies throughout Western Washington warned of busy signals and other possible problems when calling 911 Thursday evening. Calls in King, Kitsap, Pierce and Thurston counties were working Friday morning, but call centers and county officials said they can't be sure systems are fully restored, as that depends on CenturyLink. The 911 outage did not affect Snohomish or Whatcom counties, according to the call centers' social-media posts.
