I love being a watchdog of government. And that includes spotlighting when they do great work.

Early Saturday morning a tree toppled onto a power line in our neighborhood, causing a power outage to start the weekend.

The fine crew workers at Seattle City Light were doing great work on a Saturday night (Hey, that rhymes!), to get power restored for the entire neighborhood.

Much appreciation for all the utility workers who have helped thousands across the region this past week.
