Shoreline storm response

Trees in power lines

Shoreline City Manager Debbie Tarry sent this message on Saturday, but because of the cable and power outages, I received it on Sunday.

Crews have identified all locations in City that need response from Seattle City Light. Our crews cannot remove trees/vegetation if there are power line down in the vicinity. As Seattle City Light addresses power line issues City staff will be available to remove vegetation that is preventing access for residents. 

Time for power restoration has been lengthening in some areas. We will have a few staff on for a few more hours (Public Works, Parks and CRT) and then some on tomorrow to keep addressing access issues.  Staff will continue to work from the Fire Headquarters that is serving as the coordination site. 

Clean-up efforts will start Monday and will likely take several days.
