Remaining Seattle Pay phones

[Westrex]

These are at Overlake Hospital, they're in a branch off the main corridor of the hospital. You can see right through the wall with the holes for more pay phones, so they might be taking the wall down or something, which might mean these phones will also go, but there still here for now.

Found another working pay phone at the Sultan, WA police station. It can be seen with this link: https://www.google.com/maps/@47.8625302,-121.8135438,3a,15.1y,254.95h,82.43t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sOuQrxffF4jsnG9NVwXqS0A!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

Went to the pay phone yesterday. This phone does not accept dimes and also probably doesn't take nickels either.

There is one working pay phone at the Washington State Fairgrounds. This phone is at the Sip Shop near the Gold Gate. The other pay phone is attached to the Blue Gate restrooms, but does not work, however this one does. Both phones are operated by Wimactel.

There is at least ONE pay phone (at least an enclosure) left in Seattle's Chinatown. I saw this phone enclosure while driving back from the International District. The phone enclosure is very heavily graffitied, so it may not have had a phone in it for a long while.

2011 (Phone still has pagoda top): https://www.google.com/maps/@47.5963006,-122.3251027,3a,15y,102.36h,80.22t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s7mJGdRYtRXYgqkYbKZMRtQ!2e0!5s20110601T000000!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu.

Here are photos of the phone (as of May 22nd, 2023):

Pretty sure I just found this phone on Craigslist.

Here's a surviving pay phone at Noah's Grocery. I didn't have time to stop to check for dial tone, so I'll have to check it later.
