The Nov. 17 windstorm knocked-out power to over 300,000 households across the Puget Sound region, and more than 30 transmission lines were badly damaged.

In response, dozens of Puget Sound Energy crews tirelessly worked throughout the night in rain and wind, performing the necessary, stressful and often dangerous work to fix these vital electrical lines and equipment in order to “get the lights back on.”

I, for one, am thankful for these dedicated workers (who should be considered heroes). I am grateful for their dedication and their efforts. I believe I speak for many others who would just like to sincerely say to them “thank you.”
