Our previous post on the Lummi Island power outage was incorrect. After contacting PSE directly we learned that the power outage on Lummi affecting our access point had an estimated restoration time of 6 pm on Saturday the 16th. We are currently exploring possible temporary power sources for our AP at that location. More updates to follow.

According to Puget Sound Energy the power on the northern end of Lummi Island is still down. This affects our broadcast to the Raccoon Point area. PSE’s last update estimated a restoration time of 6 pm.
Power Restored – Network Up – 20210113 1920
At 7:20PM power was restored to Eastsound and Network Operations Center.
We have some lingering areas where power has not been restored and we are investigating.
Lummi Island is a concern as it is outside the San Juan Islands Archipelago. The Puget Sound Energy website shows power has not been restored in that location. https://www.pse.com/outage/outage-map
Areas around Rosario Resort are an issue as well as the Deye Lane area near Orcas Center.

Upstream provider just lost their generator. As a result our fiber connection is down.

Outage Update – Jan 13, 2021 – 1630
At this time there is no estimated restoration from Puget Sound Energy. We anticipate that this outage may run into tomorrow, and in order to conserve operational ability and prevent possible damage to equipment, we are planning to shutdown our power generators at 10:30pm. This will shutdown our equipment until power resumes, or until 7 am tomorrow morning when we will restart the generator.
Thank you for your patience as we eagerly await the return of our full system operation.
