TRAFFIC/SAFETY ALERT: Orchard closed north of Dumar

A tree-vs.-power-line situation has led to Seattle Police and City Light blocking off SW Orchard north of Dumar (map) until crews can get there to take care of the problem. They’re not sure how long that’ll take – could be a few hours. No crash involved, just a spontaneous problem, but we recall from past storms that this can be a trouble spot during wind and rain, so damage might have lingered.

    Did it affect power to any houses nearby ?

      Nothing reported. There’s one outage on the map in WS right now, one customer on Genesee Hill. Way too far to be related.

    The trees usually seem to win.

Sorry, comment time is over.
