Finally - all the power is on

By Diane Hettrick

Here's the news: the only power outage in the Seattle City Light service territory - is not in Lake Forest Park!

In fact, only one customer is without power at this writing (8:45pm Friday) and they are in the Northgate neighborhood.

Since we had our November windstorm in August this year, maybe we get to cook our Thanksgiving turkeys without a power outage.

It would be nice if the Holiday bazaars could have lights this year. I remember a big gift show at Lake Forest Park Elementary in the dark. I think that was the same year the power went out right in the middle of turkey cooking. 

A couple of years ago the Senior Center had to bring in lanterns for their annual Holiday Craft fair. And this year, the Back to School event, most of which is outside, had to solider on through wind, rain, and no power for the inside events. Kudos to the hairdressers who did 100 hair cuts by flashlight!
