What do they use? I note that Harborview has a few TGs on the King County system. What about those like Virginia Mason and Seattle Children's?

I see both Childrens (I assume it's Seattle) and Virginia Mason (Last in hospital talk group) on this page:

Seattle-King County Public Safety (KCERS) Trunking System, Seattle, Washington - Scanner Frequencies

All under the Hospital Talk Groups heading. I hope that's what you're looking for.

Use? Use as in how? In building comms (security, maintenance, staff) or field to hospital?

When I was at VA Mason (last year) I'm guessing they were using MotoTrbo because the portables were (6550s as I remember) I a person I knew that worked there stated that the comms were suppose to be encrypted.

Almost every King County hospital is using encrypted DMR for their security and daily conversations. Only a handful are still using analog but will likely be switching soon.

Children's and Swedish hospitals are definitely encrypted DMR.
