We wake up today in the aftermath of a powerful windstorm that swept through the city last night and into the early morning. Tens of thousands of us lost power as winds gusted up to 50 miles per hour and rain pushed past an inch in just one day. Seattle City Light crews are out working to restore electricity, but with trees and downed lines from Ballard to Beacon Hill, some neighborhoods may be waiting until late tonight or even Monday for full service. Capitol Hill saw its own fireball when a transformer exploded at East Aloha and Harvard, briefly knocking out power to more than six thousand homes before most were restored by sunrise. In North Seattle, pockets of outages remain near Victory Heights and up past 125th, while West Seattle is still dealing with scattered dark blocks, especially near Beach Drive and Lincoln Park.
With all this weather, our Sunday will stay wet and brisk. We are looking at more rain throughout the day, with highs right around 50 degrees and winds tapering off to gentler 10 to 15 mile gusts by this afternoon. If you have to be out on the streets, be cautious—take it slow on wet roads and keep an extra eye out for branches or debris. Looking ahead, it stays wet and breezy tomorrow before tapering to just scattered showers by midweek.
The city council meets Monday evening, with a special session to discuss emergency response to these recent storms and how to bolster Seattle’s grid. There is also debate heating up over the use of public land for temporary storm shelters, and we expect some early proposals by Thursday for the budget to add new resiliency programs.
In real estate, Seattle’s median home price sits just above eight hundred fifty thousand dollars, with open houses along Northgate Way and new listings in Columbia City. It’s still a seller’s market though we are seeing a slight increase in inventory as fall progresses. The local job market continues to tighten, especially in tech and healthcare. Top local employers, including Providence and Amazon, are each advertising over four hundred openings, and King County is launching a new career fair next week at the downtown convention center specially targeting green energy and infrastructure jobs in the wake of this weekend’s storm.
In local news, police are investigating early morning gunfire in West Seattle along 27th and Roxbury. Multiple 911 calls reported shots into the air by a man in a blue Subaru; no injuries have been reported, and officers are canvassing the neighborhood for video. Seattle PD reminds us to remain alert but assures that no ongoing threat has been identified.
For feel-good news, we tip our hats to students from Franklin High, who just won first place in the statewide STEM challenge, wowing judges with a flood-resilient microgrid project. Over at Ballard High, our Vikings soccer team clinched the district title in front of a rain-soaked but spirited home crowd.
As for local businesses, a new bakery and coffee spot called Harbor Hearth opened its doors last Friday on 16th Ave South, promising fresh loaves and piping hot espressos even through the outages—neighbors say they cooked by candlelight and kept the coffee flowing for the block. Meanwhile, legendary downtown bookstore Open Books has announced it will close its original Pike Street location next month and move to a new, larger space in the U District, with a grand reopening celebration planned for November first.
Community events carry on; the annual Rain Fest water lantern launch on Green Lake is rescheduled to this coming Tuesday if weather permits, and the citywide Costume Parade is still a go for Thursday, just in time for drier skies.
