Vehicle Strikes Power Pole, 100 Woodinville Area Customers Without Power

A vehicle struck a power pole on 174th Ave NE Wednesday morning, leaving 100 customers without power, according to Puget Sound Energy officials.

About 100 customers are without power today after a vehicle struck a power pole on 174th Ave NE near Cottage Lake, according to Puget Sound Energy officials.

The crash reportedly took place at about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday near 16525 174th Ave NE. The damage to the pole and electrical equipment was extensive, a PSE official told Patch. A crew is at the scene and must replace the pole and a "lot of equipment" that was attached to the pole. 

They said power to the area should be restored by about 3 p.m. today.

Mannnn. Power's out. I hear the hum of my neighbor's generators in the distance. Wouldn't be a Christmas in the woodhood swamp without this.

I have been extremely frustrated in the past in trying to effectively communicate with Frontier. MyRead More developing sense was one of very poor live support. I find it refreshing to see Frontier respond in a timely manner to this very public assertion. One can hope this is also occurring in your phone support, especially after hours...

I have spoken to Mr. Gaulke and assured him we are not cutting speeds in the Woodinville market (orRead More any of our markets). We are working with him to approach his technical issues from scratch and will do all we can to alleviate his concerns about his speeds. His business, and all the business from our customers in the Woodinville market is very valuable to us. While we are disappointed to receive feedback his service is not living up to our standards, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with Mr. Gaulke and keep his valuable business. We welcome inquiries from other customers if there is anything we can do to improve. Please reach out to me at 425.275.8579 and let us know how we can help.

Frontier has spent the past three years expanding broadband to hundreds of thousands of homes acrossRead More the US and increasing speeds in many of our markets. Mr. Gaulke’s experience and recount of his conversation with one of our reps comes as a surprise to us. We are checking our records to find out what the possible miscommunication could have been. In the meantime, let us be clear: We are not decreasing speeds in Woodinvile, or any of our markets for that matter. We will be reaching out to Mr. Gaulke to see if we can alleviate any lingering concerns. Christy Reap Frontier Communications
