"Snohomish County residents spent Wednesday sweeping up after a freak windstorm on Tuesday left half the county without
power and knocked hundreds of trees onto houses, cars and roads. As many as 18,000 Snohomish County homes were still
without power on Wednesday afternoon in the aftermath of winds up to 55 mph that blew in suddenly from the northwest. Power
was knocked out to about 150,000 people, making it the second-largest outage in Snohomish County PUD history...More than 500
trees fell on roads throughout the county...
The Mountain Loop Highway remained closed near the fish ladder east of Granite Falls. Trees that
had fallen into power lines were hanging about 12 feet above the road. Some vehicles, however, were going around the "road
closed" signs. The Menzel Lake Road was also blocked in both directions at the intersection with Waite Mill Road because of
fallen trees, said Capt. Jim Haverfield of Fire District 17. But the Spar Tree Tavern was still open, and
people were drinking beer by candlelight Tuesday evening."
