SEATTLE — Homes in Kapowsin and Graham in Pierce County briefly lost power late Christmas Day after an electrical substation was vandalized and set afire.
It was the fourth Christmas Day incident involving substations in Pierce County, and law enforcement officials were investigating whether the incidents were coordinated.
Firefighters received a report of a fire at 7:21 p.m. at the Puget Sound Energy substation on Kapowsin Highway East, about 12 miles northeast of La Grande, according to a statement posted Sunday by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department. PSE workers were also involved in the response.
