Earlier this month, two of our medics participated in the Firefighter Stair Climb at Seattle’s Columbia Tower, ascending 69 floors in full gear. 💪😤

They climbed in support of Blood Cancer United (formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society), raising funds for vital research and advocacy efforts benefiting those affected by blood cancers.

While this challenge is physically demanding, it represents only a small reflection of the daily realities faced by patients and their families as they battle these cancers.

We are incredibly proud of Andy and Solomon for their dedication, resilience, and commitment to supporting this important cause! 👏

We know… it’s March 😅

A bit later than planned, but 2025 kept us busy. From back-to-back calls to critical moments that mattered most, our crews showed up every time. We couldn’t be prouder of the care they provided in 2025 and continue to provide each and every hour! 🩺🚑

Weather in the PNW is always a gamble. Sun, rain, snow, fog and clouds- sometimes all in the same day! ❄️🌧️☀️

Changing conditions can affect road safety, response times, and call volumes. Every day, our paramedics adapt to ensure patients receive timely, high-quality care no matter the forecast.
