We live on Whidbey Island. Were out the Thursday before Christmas until noon Christmas Eve. Then again last Thursday for about 6 hours. I applaud the great effort of PSE working through all these windstorms!
On our way back from checking our house in Tacoma yesterday, the traffic lights were still out up here. It was snowing and still pretty windy, and we went by a couple different crews working to restore power. I thought about how miserable it can be trying to fix stuff when it is cold and you are in the open elements.
I wasn't expecting to get our power or internet back today. So I am very grateful to the linemen and rest of the crews working for PSE as well and hope they are able to get the rest of the system up as soon as possible.
