Flock & ALPR Cameras in Selah, Washington

Volunteers have reported 33 automated license plate readers in and around Selah — cameras that log every passing plate with a time and location.

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 33 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Selah, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 20 of them sit inside Selah itself.

The rest sit in Yakima (4).

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

9 cameras have no municipality recorded yet.

What’s watching Selah

These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Selah — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Selah (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
