Strong Winds, Heavy Rain Leave Thousands Without Power in Seattle

A powerful fall storm swept through Seattle and western Washington on Saturday night, November 7, 2026, bringing strong winds and heavy rain. The storm caused significant damage, including downed trees and power lines, leaving thousands of residents without electricity. At its peak, Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) reported approximately 42,000 customers without power, primarily in South Seattle, West Seattle, and Burien. By 10:30 p.m. Saturday, the number had decreased to 33,000, and by Sunday morning, 14,000 customers were still affected. Crews worked tirelessly overnight to restore power, and by 2:45 p.m. Sunday, Seattle City Light announced that 98% of customers had their power restored. The storm is part of a series of weather systems expected to bring more rain to the region in the coming days. (Source time: 2026-11-08T06:29:41+00:00)

Multiple Atmospheric Rivers Target Northwest With Heavy Rain

Multiple Atmospheric Rivers Target Northwest With Heavy Rain

A relentless parade of atmospheric rivers is set to bring several days of soaking rain, powerful wind gusts and potential flooding to the Pacific Northwest. Washington and Oregon are already feeling the impacts, with nearly 100,000 customers losing power after damaging winds swept through the region. Over the coming days, lower elevations could receive 1 to 3 inches of rain, while increasingly saturated soils may raise the risk of minor river flooding. By Friday, the wet weather will spread into Northern California, bringing more rain to the Bay Area and Central Valley over the weekend, along with mountain snow across the Sierra Nevada.

Albertsons Companies Faces $900 Million Opioid Verdict in Washington State

Albertsons Companies Faces $900 Million Opioid Verdict in Washington State

Following a nine-week trial in King County Superior Court, Albertsons Companies has been found liable in Washington's opioid lawsuit, resulting in a $900 million verdict. This ruling marks the largest in the state's history. Attorney General Nick Brown stated that Albertsons, along with its Safeway and Haggen pharmacies, dispensed over 641 million opioid pills in Washington between 2006 and 2022. A significant portion of these dispensations reportedly had unresolved 'red flags.' Brown contended that corporate policies prevented pharmacists from fulfilling their legal obligation to check for diversion. Albertsons has expressed disagreement with the ruling and is currently evaluating its options, including the possibility of an appeal.

AT and AST SpaceMobile Achieve Industry-First Cellular Handoff Between Ground Network and Satellite in Washington State

AT and AST SpaceMobile Achieve Industry-First Cellular Handoff Between Ground Network and Satellite in Washington State

AT&T and AST SpaceMobile successfully conducted what they believe to be the industry's first cellular handoff between a ground-based wireless network and a direct-to-device satellite network. The test took place on October 21 outside Granite Falls, Washington, at 8:15 a.m. PT. This achievement follows previous successful voice calls, text messages, and video calls made through AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird satellites on standard smartphones. Robert Walters, SVP Network at AT&T, emphasized that this successful handoff is a significant milestone in integrating terrestrial and satellite networks to extend service to remote and hard-to-reach areas. Ericsson provided combined radio and core technology, along with network automation, to optimize these handoffs, reducing transition times from seconds to milliseconds. Nokia contributed radio access technology and mobility software for AST SpaceMobile’s space-based network.
