Last week’s storm initially knocked out power to 180,000 customers across eastern Washington and northern Idaho. The utility brought in line crews from across the west and Canada to try to rebuild its damaged system.
More than 120 crews are now working 24 hours a day to restore power. The electrical problems have kept public schools closed since Wednesday. While power has been restored to most schools, the district decided to cancel classes all week for 29,000 students because downed power lines and trees blocking sidewalks where children walk pose a danger.
