Power outage affects 669 Aberdeen customers


Grays Harbor PUD crews are responding to a large outage in West Aberdeen. The outage was reported at 2:15 p.m. and is impacting large areas of Simpson and Sumner avenues, Fifth Street and Cherry Street. Those impacted include Duffy’s, the Pearsall Building and surrounding residential areas.


The outage may be impacting traffic lights and drivers are reminded to treat intersections without working traffic lights as four-way stops. At this time, there is no estimated time for restoration.


PUD spokesman Ian Cope said the outage occurred when a construction crew backed into a power pole and knocked down a transformer. A total of 669 customers have been impacted.


“As far as these outages go, this is supposed to be an easy fix,” Cope said.
