2 things I've seen recently:



1. One of Seattle's KW Hose Wagons has been stripped and is sitting in a city lot under the I-90 bridges leading to the stadiums. I'm not sure if there's anybody else up in Seattle that can get a shot of it, but if those 2 KWs are going away, it's the end of a very long run for Kenworth with SFD. I'm pretty sure the hose wagons are the last KW rigs operated by SFD.



2. I saw a new Tacoma FD engine that looked like it was being delivered last week. It appeared to be a Spartan/Darley. What was unusual about it was that it had a massively extended and raised rear cab. I googled and found that apparently it is transport capable. For a VERY traditional department like Tacoma, this is pretty surprising. I guess it's going to Engine 3 in NE Tacoma eventually, so keep your eyes out.
