Lake Forest Park power outage caused by falling tree

2,800 customers in Lake Forest Park were without power when a falling tree brought down power lines about 2am Friday morning.

According to Seattle City Light, power was restored about 10:30am Friday or the last 618 customers.

The original outage boundaries were: NE 197th St. to the north, 25th  Avenue NE to the west, NE 148th St. to the South, and Lake Washington to the west. Not all customers in this area lost power.

    My normal 35 minute commute to work (which includes a drop off to pre-school) took 70 minutes! What I don’t understand is why Lake Forest Park did not have an officer out there directing traffic. I can understand an accident causing delay but a power outage seems like it could have been mitigated better. The police station is right there, wasn’t there anyone to step in?

    Thanks for the RCW, but it was not helpful in answering my question as to why LFP did not assign a flagger, police officer, or firefighter to direct traffic.
