As of a few moments ago, there was no power from the McDonalds on Olympic Highway North down toward Walmart or down Wallace Kneeland to O'Reilly Auto Parts.
Mason PUD 3@PUD31 Jan 2022
Our system has alerted us to another outage in the Wallace Kneeland areas impacting major businesses in the area. Crews were immediately dispatched to investigate. It may be that extreme weather is taking a toll on a critical piece of electrical equipment.
