Seattle City Buzz

I came across this site as I was looking for Viaduct election results. King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties created the Regional Public Information Network (RPIN.org) to provide breaking news and alerts. From their website, RPIN:

…is your one-stop resource for news alerts from more than 75 government, transportation, utility, health and emergency response agencies serving citizens in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties.

RPIN keeps the public informed about street and highway closures, weather, major transit disruptions, and provides updates on what agencies are doing to respond to emergencies and incidents. The public also can sign up to receive e-mail alerts and pager headlines from RPIN partners and get helpful tips to prepare for emergencies.

Currently, most of the news/alerts are related to road closures, flooding and transit issues. The site also provides links and information on traffic cams, ferries, airports, public health, public safety and more. It’s a great resource for anyone who lives and works in the Tri-county area.
