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.

We have another retirement to close out the year! After more than three decades of extraordinary service, Senior Paramedic Sylvia Feder is retiring, leaving behind a legacy defined by compassion and education. She began her journey with KCM1 in September of 1991 as part of Class 18, following earlier service as a Firefighter/EMT in Alaska.

Throughout her career as a paramedic, and various leadership and educational roles, Sylvia became known not only for her clinical excellence but for the endless lessons she taught on calls, during training, and in everyday moments that shaped generations of providers. Her passion for teaching and education is unmistakable; she believes deeply in lifting others up, sharing knowledge, and building confident, compassionate clinicians.

One accomplishment Sylvia is especially proud of is contributing to the advancement of medical knowledge, including work referenced here, a reflection of her dedication to evidence-based care and lifelong learning: https://bit.ly/4qqrwq6

Sylvia has expressed that taking care of patients, working side by side with her firefighter and paramedic partners, teaching, learning, and being part of this profession are things she’s loved beyond measure. While she notes she will miss it forever, her impact will continue through the countless lives she touched, the students she mentored, and the standards she set.

Congratulations, Sylvia, on a remarkable career and a well-earned retirement! 🚨🙌🏼
