Who answers where
Birch Bay
Birch Bay has no city government, so the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office is the police agency there.
Blaine
Inside Blaine city limits, Blaine Police respond.
One number for both
Both are dispatched from the county center. Non-emergency: (360) 676-6911.
The medical examiner
Deaths needing investigation in either place go to the Whatcom County Medical Examiner’s Office, 360-738-4557.
If you live somewhere else
If the home is a cabin, a holiday place or a relative's house and you're not nearby, say so on the call. A company can usually work from a lockbox or a key left with a neighbor, and send photos when it's done.
If it's a condo or in a managed community, tell the association or manager before work starts; they may need to know about access, parking or shared walls.
Whenever you are ready
There is no rush and no obligation. Call to ask questions, get a quote, or simply understand what would happen next.
Talk it through first
Call when you are ready. Say what happened, where, and whether police or the medical examiner have released the place. An independent cleanup company can then explain what it would do.
