12/24 Power Update
From the Opalco Website:
12/24 @ 2PM We just heard that repairs are going well. We are now hopeful that you will have power to start cooking your Christmas Eve dinner – hopefully by 5 pm. As seen in the past, we can never account for all situations so we will continue updating if this restoration time gets pushed back. As we did before, restoration will come in phases to not overload the system and we expect that some smaller outages may occur as a result of this extended whole system outage.

Thanks to Stu and his companion. They were able to get up to the side of the mountain in 2ft of snow and a drizzle to replace parts and get the connection back up.
Hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!!
12/23 Repair Team on way
Our repair has begun the trek to the broadcast location. If all goes well things should begin passing traffic around 3:45PM
12/23 Power Outage Resolved
Power was generally restored to the county around 2:30AM. Most of the systems came back up. We are working to enable internet on about 3 sites.
Primary Concern is the WrightRD area serving Bartell and Rossell Lane areas. There is a power supply unit that has failed. A hard to get to location means we will be trying to hike in to the site and affect repairs. The road is not passable at this time.
12/22 outage update
From OPALCO website
12/22 @ 6:25 The Puget Sound Energy team has identified the issue and are in route to fix the problem. The restoration time is greater than 4 hours.
5:45 PM – The BPA and PSE crews on the mainland are responding and investigating the issue and working to make the necessary repairs. No restoration time yet. Please consider turning off most of your lights and heat so that when we do start restoring power there won’t be such a big pull on the system.
