From staff and wire reports, Spokesman Review (Spokane, WA)

Emergency reporting services in Spokane County still operated out of a backup location Wednesday as technicians continued to work on restoring the main 911 calling system and try to determine the cause of a 38-minute failure Monday night.

Spokane County, which oversees the system, didn’t give any estimate for when the main center, 1620 N. Rebecca St., will be back in use. Meanwhile, 911 operators continue to work out of a smaller station about nine miles north of Spokane.

Non-emergency reporting system Crime Check, part of the main system that also includes 911, was also operating out of the backup center Wednesday.
