Western Washington Faces Snowstorm Challenges, Impacts Multiple Towns

Parts of western Washington experienced significant snowfall on Sunday night into Monday morning, impacting various communities including Issaquah, Puyallup, Auburn, Kent, Tukwila, and Renton. Reports indicate that Issaquah received around five inches of snow, allowing residents to enjoy winter activities, while Puyallup saw only a light dusting of around a quarter inch. The National Weather Service warned of slick conditions on untreated roads, advising drivers to exercise caution during their morning commutes. Snowfall led to some issues on I-90, including a jack-knifed semi truck, but no major power outages were reported following the snow event. Public Works crews were deployed to manage the roads, using plows and ice melt trucks to ensure safety. Overall, the weather conditions were much less severe than those experienced during November’s Bomb Cyclone, according to local residents.
