Splitting this off in to a new thread

461.3375 (229.1) (R) Seattle Center - "Production"? Ops at the Center; everything from reefer trucks (temporary storage during the Folklife festival) to pipe and drape to power distribution. No license found for the repeater.
462.5500 (127.3) (S) Probably Staff Pro; at least one of which was wearing a Day Wireless rental

I read that as "forklift" festival for some reason

"I was installing un-programmed radios"

I called the Longshore and Teamsters halls to try to get some people to enter the "Forklift Rodeo and Square-Dance" but got no takers.

Oh, well...

Many of the "Production" folks were seen carrying two radios. Not sure if this was because somebody couldn't program their radios with the Folklife volunteers' freqs or if they really needed "dual watch".
Still not quite sure who these Production folks are. They occasionally hailed Hollywood.

Confirmed Staff Pro on 462.55 (GMRS)

Others, all simplex:
456.0375 (127.3)
461.0875 D606
461.2375 D445
462.7625 D315 same sort of general usage as the above four but also heard SPD answering to "Police remote"

All 6 freqs seem to have their own person that answers to "Base"

464.4875 Repeater, unknown usage, unknown tone

Interestingly unlike Bumbershoot there hasn't been a lick of TRBO. Probably because most of the radios are analog only Kenwoods with a few Motorolas mixed in.

"Hollywood" is Hollywood Lights, an outfit known for temporary / event electrical. Good guys.

Yep, linked their site.

Worked Folk Life as a Hollywood Light person, including one year as the lead.

Both NW Folk Life and Bumbershoot are produced by two different companies.

The "Production" folks refer to the producers of the events and the people they hire to manage the event. They have different departments from, food vendors, carpentry ( signs and fences), Stage/ Entertainment, etc

Many vendors including Sound, Security, Ice have individual company radios and supervisors will have a "Festival Radio"

NW Folk Life is produced by Bolt Hat and Bumbershoot is produced by One Reel with AEG.

AEG manages localy Key Arena, Marymoor Concerts, Showbox.
