1) Negotiating my insomnia by trundling around the city, I saw a man asleep at a bus stop -- no blanket, no heavy winter clothes, skin exposed at his midsection, head resting directly on the concrete. I called emergency services just to check on him. Their first response? "No."

I initially called 211, but I got a "We are closed -- hours are..." message, so I called SPD non-emergency, then got bounced to a County emergency services line (?). It took a lotta phone trees and waiting, which I can understand due to high demand, but we can do way, way better.

Our apologies for any confusion
@chaseacross, King County 2-1-1 is open M-F's from 8-6pm. We've recently added an emergency services page to our site for this kind of weather in hopes of being able to better fill gaps. Thanks for your help and kindness!
