Seattle Restaurants Mostly Spared from ‘Bomb Cyclone’
Heavy rains and hurricane-like winds devastated Seattle in the “Bomb Cyclone” on Sunday October 24th, which left more than 100,000 people without electricity. “Expect the winds to stay high for about 12 hours before they subside,” tweeted the National Weather Service Seattle on October 25th. Remarkably, power outages seemed to have had little impact on restaurants in the Seattle area: Youngstown Coffee in West Seattle reported flickering lights on Sundays without interrupting service. On his Instagram account, Shorelines Black Coffee Northwest announced that they would be open during regular hours after a brief power outage.
