San Juan County Deputies responded to 140 calls from March 8 to 14, 2023 including: A Lopez Island Deputy responded to a local music venue during a rock concert following a 9-1-1 hang up call.

A Deputy on San Juan Island responded to an anonymous individual's report of people sleeping in their broken-down vehicle, which was in a parking lot. The Deputy arrived on scene and helped the couple push their vehicle to street parking, out of the parking lot, to wait for a tow.
