Flock & ALPR Cameras in Esperance, Washington

Volunteers have reported 14 automated license plate readers in and around Esperance — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 14 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Esperance, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Esperance itself.

The rest sit in Edmonds (12), Shoreline (2).

3 of them name an operator in the record: Edmonds Police (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Esperance
