From Washington State Emergency News/Enhanced 9-1-1
If you have an emergency, call – don’t text—9-1-1 on your phone. Washington State’s current 9-1-1 telephone system is designed around voice communications. Until upgrades are in place, Washington’s 9-1-1 system cannot deliver text data to 9-1-1 call centers around the state. So for now, if you have an emergency, you must make a voice call to 9-1-1 and be ready to provide your name, location and type of emergency. For more information on this subject, you are encouraged to contact your local County 9-1-1 program or your local 9-1-1 public education coordinator.
