Powerful winds on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning left Issaquah scattered with downed trees and powerlines, and many homeowners with extensive damage to their homes.
ISSAQUAH, Wash. - With bomb cyclone storm damage in Issaquah still causing issues, school officials say they have recovered enough to get kids back in the classroom.
Issaquah School District was weighing their options over the weekend about whether to resume classes on Monday. By Sunday evening, they determined things were safe enough to get back to school, although officials say internet and network services are down, some bus routes are inaccessible, and some menus will be adjusted for students.
Schools that are open will start two hours later than normal. Schools that remain closed include:
- Holly Street Early Learning Center
- Creekside Elementary
- Issaquah Valley Elementary
- Maple Hills Elementary
- Sunny Hills Elementary
"Thank you for your patience as we worked to assess all our sites for safety, clear debris, assess impacts from several days without power and check roads and bus routes. At this time, we are ready to open most of our school buildings. These buildings have been cleared for safety and have power restored," wrote the school district.
In the meantime, they ask people to "share with your neighbors to help everyone stay informed."
