The windstorm on January 12 that saw wind gusts over 75mph at the Space Needle cut the power for tens of thousands of people in the greater Seattle area. It also did some damage locally. The power line break at East Marginal Way near South Myrtle saw multiple poles down. The Westy Sports and Sprits lost one of their large tents and ten seats but surprisingly their smaller "igloo style" tents were ok.
Co-Owner JP Vidican said they will still have seating from 2 to 9 pm with an 1 hour 45 minutes allowed per reservation which includes a 15 minute cleaning and ventilation period between seatings.
information from the City of Seattle
Mayor Jenny A. Durkan today announced new City of Seattle actions to support vaccination efforts in Seattle and Washington state. On January 9, 2021, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) approved the City to serve as a vaccine distributor, meaning the City is eligible to receive weekly shipments of vaccine from DOH and can administer vaccine to Seattle residents and workers. Following this approval, the Seattle Fire Department (SFD) will quickly launch two mobile vaccination teams to vaccinate nearly 1,000 residents and staff at Adult Family Homes (AFHs) within the next two weeks.
