Over 3,000 greater La Conner residents were without power for several hours Sept. 26 following a vehicle collision north of town.

The areas affected by the outage was southern Fidalgo Island east across the La Conner Flats to Pleasant Ridge and the North Fork Skagit River bridge and along McLean Road to Best Road.

According to the Safely HQ community health platform, electrical service was interrupted when a motor vehicle crash occurred near the intersection of McLean and La Conner-Whitney roads around 1:40 p.m.

Outages were reported on Fir Island, in La Conner, Shelter Bay and on Swinomish Reservation.

Power was restored in La Conner within a couple hours, in time for a series of meetings held at Maple Hall. The Town’s emergency management commission met as scheduled at 4 p.m., followed by a town council budget session and its regular meeting.


Some Puget Sound Energy customers on Fidalgo Island did not have power restored until just before 7 p.m.
