Rosalia - Sterling 16/16, the thing at the top is a circular antenna.

Colfax - there is another one about 1/2 mile north
Image
Starbuck - Model 2 (yes, the town is called Starbuck, Washington; no, there is no coffee shop there)
Image
Kahlotus - Darley? flat-top Model 5 (very common in the Pacific NW)
Image
Uniontown - Darley horizontal - amazingly, still in daily use.
Image
Washtucna - Model 5, 12 port.
Image
Steptoe - Two Model 2's, one disconnected.
Image
Colton - Model 2.
Image

The "Darley Flat top" is just a GCS Model 3, they re-branded them. Under that housing is just a regular Model 3.

Nice photos! As WhelenBoy said, the flat-top in Kahlotus is a GCS - there's a few in Pennsylvania, and I recently found one in Virginia.

The only one I've ever found is in Salina, UT on their fire department. It took me a while to figure out what it was.

Sorry for the bump, but Pacific has a Model 5.

I'm not sure if you forgot the name or if you weren't sure on what the Colfax siren was. For posterity's sake, it's a Whelen WS-2016. Do you know if it's active at all?

I don't know whether it's active. I have absolutely no interest in electronic sirens, so I've never bothered to remember their model numbers.

The 2016s were probably from the very early 90s, but nothing definitive has come up to date them. They're most likely Whelen's second attempt at a siren, after the WS-1000
