Seattle Centre channels

Does anyone know what each channel for the Seattle Centre is used for?
Thanks.

There are various technical departments - janitors/plumbers/electricians/carpenters etc, live production departments, security and event service needs as well. Radio traffic gets a bit crazy on festival weekends.

thanks for your reply
do you know what channel is used by who / which department

From what I can tell - They're usually monitoring/calling on one channel, unless/until it gets busy. Then they'll move to an open channel.

So, correct me if I’m wrong, there is no sort of structure to it, for example, security on channel 1, events management on channel 2, electricians on channel 3 et cetera

Worked there many years ago. Security had their own channel. Everyone else monitored one knob position unless it got busy, like festivals, concerts, theater events etc. At that point, the stage department and event service staff would move comms to another channel. Various departments employed Nextel equipment for interdepartmental comms as well. We never used the allotted limit of channels. It may be different now, but that's what I remember. Kind of like marine VHF channel 16, channel 1 was for calling, longer conversations were taken to open channels.

Thanks, that’s helpful.
Mainly interested in security.
Was there channel separate to the main five channels?

I'm not sure how they're communicating at this point. If I happen to be visiting there again, I'll inquire about their comms.
