3:55 PM: Seattle Fire is sending a “rope rescue” response for what might be a window washer in trouble on a building in the 4800 block of California SW. You might hear/see a TV helicopter shortly, too. More to come.
3:58 PM: Per scanner, the window washer is reported to be OK on a 4th-floor balcony, so some of the SFD units are being canceled.
4:06 PM: The last SFD units were leaving as we arrived – all’s well, incident over.
Im in downtown and saw a unit going to this. Thanks for explaining what’s going on.
There is literally nothing left to see, as the KING/KOMO chopper told the folks back at HQ and as our crew just called to tell me. One of those quick “never minds” but sure glad the person is OK.
Yes, glad the person is OK! As if window washing in this weather wasn’t bad enough.
So glad they’re ok. I really admire people who do those jobs at that height–I would be terrified!
Washing windows in the down pouring rain today? Jeez, I’d just let Mother Nature wash the windows. Glad it all turned out ok!!
Sorry, comment time is over.
