Annual "full power" test of the AHAB (All Hazards Alert Broadcast) system of Modulators along the Washington State coastline. The "Wail/Attack" signal is sounded for three minutes with voice announcements before and afterwards. As always, the test is done at the same time as the annual "Great ShakeOut" statewide earthquake drill and coastline tsunami drills.

This year's "full power test" was conducted differently than in the past. The siren now "clicks" instead of producing static when it activates (did not know about this until I was editing this.) Secondly, the Spanish translation of the voice announcement utilizes the newer voice heard during "routine" tests followed by the usual "static" sound. Finally, a Russian translation was added in.

This siren is located at Squalicum Harbor off South Harbor Loop drive next to a set of public restrooms. It was installed in November of 2017. I'm planning on returning here next month for the routine Westminster Chime test.
