Cities across the Puget Sound opened up community shelters for warming up and charging electronics following Tuesday’s massive windstorm.
Issaquah Mayor Mary Lou Pauly shared that the senior center would be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday for free WiFi and charging, along with help from onsite staff. Onsite staff will be available for those who need help, and the Hub will remain open until power is restored citywide.
As someone who lives here, I know how tough this is—we’re in this together.
