Puget Sound Energy was called to fix the problem.
Here's a picture from the west side closure on Stevens Pass. You can see how heavy the ice coated powerlines are, reported to be hanging less than 12' from the road surface. Thank you for your patience as we wait for PS&E to arrive on scene for repairs. Look for updates here. https://t.co/A9b62w9Mxe pic.twitter.com/wcl94MNXd7
