Power outage in Ridgecrest

Power outage 11-24-2016 11:45pm
Ridgecrest

Around 1pm I checked the power outage map - it is that time of year, you know - and there was a very big area without power - 5,000 households - running along I-5 from the Ship Canal to Greenlake. All those half-roasted turkeys!

Things are banging around a bit outside in Shoreline so I just checked again. The previous outage has been fixed, but now 250 households in Ridgecrest are without power. The cause is a tree or tree branches that took out a power line.

Power is not due to be restored until 9:30am Friday morning. Hopefully dinner was done before the power went out, but it's going to be a cold night for a lot of our neighbors.
