A nationwide Century Link outage is preventing cell phone users in Island County from being able to contact 9-1-1.
If you have a medical, police or fire emergency, here are four numbers you can use instead:
360-679-9567
360-675-3418
360-320-5795
360-320-5735
These numbers, normally the non-emergency numbers for Island County, will reach 9-1-1 dispatchers.
The outage has also affected Idaho, Arizona and Missouri.
The latest estimates from Century Link are that service “may be restored by 1 AM Friday.”
