Woodinville area
Because of the severe damage in this area, we expect restoration efforts here to continue late into the week, perhaps Friday or Saturday. Many customers remain without service in the Woodinville area, one of our hardest-hit communities. Work currently is focused on restoring the community's high-voltage transmission grid and the three substations that serve the Cottage Lake and Hollywood Hills area. Once this work is complete, we can then concentrate solely on repairing damage to the local distribution lines.

Redmond, Kirkland, Bothell and Kenmore areas
Restoration of the heavily damaged distribution lines here likely will continue until Wednesday or Thursday, though final restoration in isolated pockets in the Juanita, Inglewood, and Avondale areas may not be complete until sometime this weekend. Power has been restored to many homes and businesses in these communities. Service has been restored to all substations and we are now repairing local distribution lines to restore everyone's' power as quickly as we can.

Mercer Island
Two of three substations serving Mercer Island have been restored, with the third expected to be energized later today [Monday]. Many customers have regained service on the north half of Mercer Island. Some customers on the south end of the island will be restored later today, but complete restoration of the island's heavily damaged distribution lines likely will continue late into the week, perhaps Friday or Saturday. Our electric system sustained tremendous damage on the island from falling trees and limbs.
