- 02

Each incident becomes an original news-style post, crafted by humans. Accurate, respectful, and carefully sourced, with a Google Map of the crash location and links to local resources like hospitals and news outlets.
- 03

Methodology
How we count
- Public local news reports. We monitor Seattle local news outlets for auto accidents, including crashes involving pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.
- Duplicate stories merged. When several outlets or follow-up stories cover the same crash, we count it once, on the date it was first reported.
- Updated daily. The numbers refresh each morning with the latest 30 days.
- Not official totals. These are auto accidents reported in local news, not police or state collision records.
