Living in Burien when it’s raining: “Power’s out!” Living in Burien when it’s sunny: “Power’s out!” ??

It’s gorgeous out, I’m thinking not weather-related this time? I have never lived someplace where the power goes out as often as it does in Burien.

I’ve had more power outages in the Seattle burien area over the last few years than I’ve had living anywhere else in Washington. Hoping @SEACityLight will fix things in a timely manner. On a side note. How does one cook beefaroni with candles?

The intersection of first ave and 518 are a disaster. All lights are out.
