    I live on harbor ave sw near the bridge. I’ve heard loud beeping outside every 20 seconds for the past 24 hours. Does anyone know what this is and how to stop it?

      I think that beep goes off every time a motorist crosses the lower bridge without authorization. Just kidding, if that were the case, it would be a nearly constant tone.

    You’ll have to pinpoint where this is coming from. Is it a house/condo or a car or on port property. Can’t be stopped if you don’t know where exactly it’s coming from.

    Jort.That must be you sitting in your Tahoe at Chelan Cafe watching the bridge. Hello!
