Umatilla County removed all the Whelens in 2011 when the last of the chemical weapons at the army depot were destroyed. I'll have to go back there and look again. However, I am quite sure that if there is a siren there, it is not used, since I live in Hermiston and the only outdoor warning device in use is the goal horn at the high school (a large Federal ship horn).
Ahh, Bunker Land! I never saw any sirens. That area around the Depot is/was gas attack ready. If IRC, there was alot of VXnerve gas.

I recently discovered two Whelen Omnidirectionals in a large Railyard in Placer County, California. There's a good possibility that there's more, since the Railyard controls an entire system:

There's 2 EOWS-612s at a rail yard in Maryland by the Conewingo Dam that alert of the dam being opened.
