This channel is *not* affiliated with the City of Seattle or the Seattle Department Of Transportation.
This channel features traffic camera footage and scanner audio that I record, showing fire responses, police incidents and other interesting footage from the Seattle area.
The City of Seattle streams their traffic cameras online but they don't retain the footage, so all these videos were recorded live with the screen-capture software on my laptop. I stream the audio from one of several scanner websites at the same time, which is where the radio traffic comes from.
SDOT cameras can be found here: web6.seattle.gov/travelers/

Crashes caught on Seattle traffic cameras #7!
Here's another collection of crashes, captured on Seattle's traffic cameras. Once again, the drivers were very bad.
re: the crash at 1:39, someone posted a sob story on reddit about how they'd been t-boned by a van which ran a red light, and a witness had lied on the scene and said they (the OP) had run the red light. It was a long post asking if anyone could help them find video of the crash. Well, I found the video and the OP was the one who'd gone through a light that had been red for about 8 seconds. I'd share a link here, but they deleted both their post and their reddit account after I posted the video as a reply. Hopefully this leads them to take a long look at their driving behavio...

[Traffic Cam] Seattle PD chase 13-year old carjacker!
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.3 месяца назад
On February 13th 2024, two brothers aged 12 and 13 went on a wild crime spree in north Seattle, starting with an armed car jacking and ending with a police chase. Both boys bailed from the stolen car with weapons in their hands - thankfully (for them) Seattle police held their fire and took both of them into custody after a short foot chase. SPD decided to wait for King County Sheriff's Guardia...
[Traffic Cam] Seattle police chase caught on camera (+ scanner audio)
Просмотров 3,4 тыс.4 месяца назад
On January 10th 2024, Seattle police chased an armed man who had threatened a woman who had a no-contact order against him. The chase started in Queen Anne, went through South Lake Union, and ended on Interstate 5, just south of James Street. I don't have access to the WSDOT cameras that cover I-5, but the 7th and James camera provided an okay view of the chase before it ended. This guy almost ...

We're back! Today it's another collection of crashes, showing you what to avoid on the road and what kinds of situations often lead to collisions. To the best of my knowledge none of these crashes led to any serious injuries, but that doesn't mean they didn't have a big impact on the lives of the people involved. Even a minor to moderate collision can lead to months or years of pain, expenses a...

I've got a great collection of Seattle Police footage for you today, featuring a car chase, two bicycle chases and a foot chase! The car chase took place in June, and Kiro had some good helicopter footage of the chase's conclusion. I don't have any info about what led up to the bike chases, but the first one featured took place in July, and the second one was in June. Finally, the foot chase to...

It's time for another excited edition of Quick Clips! There's a lot of great footage this week, including extremely rare footage of the Vice President's motorcade. In the past, SDOT has always shut down the traffic cameras prior to the motorcade, but in this time they didn't and I was able to get footage from three different cameras! Also featured in this video are a number of different fires, ...
[Traffic Cam] Seattle FD battles major house fire near Green Lake

On August 16th, 2023, I captured footage of the Seattle Fire Department battling a raging house fire on Winona Ave North, near Green Lake. This was initially dispatched as a deck fire, but the fire spread into the house. The first unit on scene (Ladder 5) called for a full response, and the first chief on scene (Battalion 4) requested additional engines. The fire also spread into surrounding fo...

Просмотров 3,3 тыс.11 месяцев назад
This afternoon, I got my very first look at Seattle Fire's newest truck - Energy 1 - responding to a call! It looks as though Energy 1 is replacing Power 25 on the Energy Response Team (formerly the Vault Response Team). I don't know any details about the truck yet, but I'm hoping we'll learn more in the next few weeks/months. If any of my viewers have more info, feel free to leave it in the co...

[Traffic Cam] SPD bomb squad investigates suspicious barrel
It would go a long way if people would not think of themselves having the right of way all the time and speed on top of it. Defensive driving has died it seems.
kind of unfortunate you dont show the injury/fatality crashes. I konw you cant, but it gives people a false sense of safety.
If you’re going straight and you don’t see someone start to slowly pull in front of you then you need to open your damn eyes. Half of these were completely avoidable by the person that wasn’t at fault
Too many drivers going too fast, trying to save a few minutes ... alas!
The lack of $1,000 fines for committing these flagrant traffic law violations (speeding, running red lights and stop signs, tailgating, not signalling, speeding) is why such wrecks easily occur. Thousand-dollar fines would behoove politicans to make police enforce these simple traditional traffic safety laws, especially if cops themselves were fined $1,000 per occurrance for not enforcing them. Most people would have to sell their car to pay the fine -- and still owe on it -- or serve a day on a public works chain gang for each dollar not paid. Either way, the public highways could be fixed by free chain gang labor or, public transit could be funded by fines for scoffing the law.

Crashes using the phone should also be 'under the influence' of a device
This year has been noticeably worse than last year. I own a classic MGB and I've been almost hit 3 times in one month. People are even more distracted than ever. There's a lot of people not waiting for a car to clear an intersection before going. 2 of the 3 times I was almost hit was my making a left hand turn only for the moron at the side to try and go before I am even around the corner. They both knew I was there, yet decided to force me to take evasive actions just to not get hit. SLOW DOWN AND LET OTHERS SHARE THE ROAD IDIOTS. *not you, those who drive like that.* 😉
Great commentary, sir!
5:55 Crash between a Smart and a larger sedan and the Smart looks undamaged for the win! Surprise.
Seattle driver's are some of the worst in the country.
If anyone was trapped in this house, they didn't have a chance. Taking their sweet time!
Crazy to see how long the toom to open a hoose
Why talk over these delicious crashes? Self absorbed much?
I used to call them hook and ladder trucks when I was a kid about a 100 years ago.
1:58 it really looks like a lightshow right here
❤ Be careful with the 🔥 fires
5:34 very impressive driving
Here is the translation of your text from German to English: TY 4 vid!! I quite like America. But the fire department there doesn't work at all. Whether it's due to poor water infrastructure or poor training of the firefighters, I can't say. But the fact is, when I watch 20 videos of fires in the USA, it usually takes forever for the first jet of water to hit the fire. Here in Austria, from the arrival of the first fire trucks to the first jet, it takes a maximum of 1 to 2 minutes. If you don't believe it, just google it and watch videos.
I remember that guy and his girlfriend come through trying to 💪 people, took dude phone, told him to back up,or get shot,he didn't want to so he got shot in leg, unfortunately an innocent elder lady leg was shot off below knee to,when coming out of store, always be aware of surroundings people are evil these days
The uturn people are the worst
Many of the homeless do not make good decisions, even with fire.
Driving in Seattle sucks, so many low skill drivers that don't seem to know the basic rules of the road or just don't care.
My husband grew up in Ballard. I swear he can't tell the difference between a left turn ARROW and a regular green right that means oh have to YIELD to oncoming traffic.
I missed a great wrong way clip. When the detour was opened on 99 in Milton I was going north and a car was in the left lane going south. It wasn't until couple days later going through again that it occurred to me that both lanes were north bound and the videos on my camera had been copied over.
2:35 I don't understand why no one helps. Why do people just stand there instead of helping? Greetings from Leipzig :)
Driving is a privilege not a right. Think of others
Just a reminder to the asses that go the wrong way at traffic circles in neighborhoods...you go counter clockwise. Nearly got hit yesterday by an old fart doing a left turn because he was too stupid to go around correctly.
Sick and tired of all the bad drivers in Seattle.
Me too! Thanks for watching!
SEATTLE NIGHTS ARE DIFFICULT FOR MANY REASONS VISUALLY 👀 SITE OF OTHER PEDESTRIANS WALKING MOTORCYCLES 🏍 MOPEDS AND OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING CITY MANAGEMENT NEEDS MULTITUDE MORE OF LIGHTED STREETS HIGHWAYS 🛣 FREEWAYS AND ROADS THE MAJORITY OF ACCIDENTS ARE OFTEN CAUSED BY LIMITED VIEWS OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS SIGNS AND VEHICLES
You deserve more likes and views. I love your commentary.
Thank you - I appreciate it!
I love these compilations and you do a great job with the narration!
Thanks so much!!
Put down your phones, slow down, and stop smoking weed and drive it's a dui. Smh Every time I go into Seattle, I smell and see smoke from someone lighting up a bowl or joint. To those who do it and think their driving is fine? YOUR WRONG.
Yep, good call - thanks for watching!
I've lived in 8 states. Everyone likes to say "Im from "this State" and we have the worst drivers. Here in WA, they take the crown hands down no contest. Like there is bad drivers everywhere but WA has a whole different level of insanity. It's amazing anyone ever makes it home.
Lol, yeah, we do it different on the west coast for sure 😂
WA native here guessing you've never lived in Colorado.
Wow. I knew that Seattle has become a clown town with drivers and bicyclist and some pedestrians-buy I never knew how many traffic incidents were occurring. Dang.
It's pretty scary out there - thanks for watching!
Coming home from college in a week, good refresher on what I have to deal with!
Safe travels, and good luck!
3:03 What a pit maneuver 😂😅😊
It sure was 😂
@@SeattleTrafficCamsafter the pit maneuver was the best drift I have ever seen
Lol😅😂
3:57 The best part of that one is it's "No Left Turn except Transit" SB on Jackson.
Hah, I missed that - that makes it even worse!
The sun is kinda scary, when it comes out... Ha! Agreed.
Thanks for watching! 🌞
2:47 I cannot understand the mentality of someone who would run a red light at that speed, crash into the driver’s side of the car so hard that it flies a block, and then runs away without a care about the person they potentially just murdered.
Yeah, same - some people truly just don't care about anyone else.
The u-turn at 4:38 (greenwood ave n), I was there. It was crazy. It was a hard crash. There was blood everywhere. One person didn't have their seatbelt on either.
Yikes - that sounds traumatic to see. It's scary how fast people go on Greenwood - that road could definitely use some traffic calming measures, especially since 99 is just a few blocks away.
yes, put down the phone while driving, its not hard thing to do,
Exactly! Thanks for watching!
That sun coming out just after it rains is super bright even from the pavement.
It really is! I also hate the dark rainy nights where you can barely even see the markings on the road.
@@SeattleTrafficCamsI also hate intense fog.
@@SeattleTrafficCams Reflectors are great. I would pay an extra penny per gallon in fuel taxes if it was dedicated to planting reflectors in the lane stripes. I also like the places where there is almost no shoulder between the fog line and the ditch or downslope into a swamp and the fog line hasn't been repainted since 1974.
Fortunately, the sun comes out, like, three times a year.
ya ive had that happen sun on a wet road can be blinding
