Heard a trooper on 59203 call the channel "CAR 2 SOUTH" from Site 201. I wonder if they are using 59201 as a global CAR channel and 202/203 are North/South CAR 2 channels... inquiring minds want to know.

I monitor the Tacoma simulcast site as it is a strong signal from my location in south King County. I receive Tacoma WSP east and west, Seattle South King, North King, Metro, and sometimes Olympia and Academy.
I noticed that they were calling 59203 Car 2 some time ago. I changed it in my database from Car 3 to Car 2.
I assumed that Car 1 (which I haven't heard on Tacoma simulcast) would be for District 1 Pierce County and Car 2 would be used for District 2 King County etc..
I also asusmed that the different districts have Car 1, Car 2, and Car 3 to talk car to car from one district to another.
This doesn't explain why 59203 is Car 2 though. It doesn't follow the convention of the last digit of the talkgroup relates to the channel name, and the third digit is the district. This is of course assuming the database is correct and not assumptive.

They did for a while. Apparently, it has been changed -- but it could just be for D2. We'll have to listen more to the outlying areas and see if they have a "Car 3" or not.
For whatever it's worth Spokane calls theirs "Car 5" and is only only the SRECS (Spokane).

That's strange. You would think they would do it by district as that appears to be the original plan.
Bellingham from the late 90s-current still uses "Car 4" 154.935
Another interesting hit. New one for me.
Pursuit/Felony Stop over in Havillah on Monday afternoon. This came over the King Lake (Monroe) WSP site.
59611 == D6 Okanogan ?
Perhaps someone can listen and annotate this... some scratchy audio:
I'm hearing "Okanogan 1048" and "1022"

Definitely heard Okanogan and 1048. My information is 25-years old and I mostly worked the "south end" of the county (green shirt), which included the Methow. Occassionally I would get sent up north, and there was no true geographic definitive line in the sand as to whether you could reach dispatch on Lemanasky or Tunk. Lots of kerchunking on both repeaters the further off 97 or 20 you went. All that to say I then checked JIWN and see the only site listed as Goat and that definitely wouldn't hit the north part of the county with any dependability. So does anyone know if there's a site on either Lemanasky or Tunk as I'm sure it was patched.
To be clear, they're likely using their WSP conventional repeaters. It doesn't matter if they're analog or not -- the channel traffic is being patched into the trunked, WSP 700 (9CC) system.
Guessing it's D2 Tac 1. I have noted 59706 as D7 Tac 1 on IWN (also encrypted), so it's not unlikely.

Encrypted yet you posit it's "investigations"?
Unsure how that one works.
What do you care, you left the state anyway...

Escaped, you mean. Some people are smart enough to flee tyranny.
Well, there was that cartel contact that influenced your decision.
