Puget Sound Energy

U.S. prosecutors say two men have been arrested and charged with vandalizing electrical substations in Washington state, attacks that left thousands without power over the holidays.

Emails obtained by OPB and KUOW show that at least six electric substations in the region have been attacked, at least two with firearms. At least two of the incidents bear similarities to the attacks on substations in North Carolina on Saturday that were also caused by gunfire and left thousands of people without electricity for days.

It came the same day the Puyallup Tribe made an emergency declaration of its own – all aiming to restrict fossil fuel developments in the tideflats and the port at the heart of the city. But the Tacoma City Council is stuck in a holding pattern.
