Tacoma Public Utilities has restored power to their substations on Tuesday afternoon after vandals intentionally caused damage on Christmas Day, putting over 14K people in the dark.
“I woke up and the power was out,” said Thomas Morisada.
The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department says just before 5:30 a.m. on Sunday they received a call of a burglary to the Tacoma Public Utilities Substation off 46th Avenue in Graham. Shortly after the sheriff’s department was notified, the substation off 224th Street was also vandalized. Deputies called Puget Sound Energy, which also provides power in the area, and they confirmed that their substation off 144th Street was also hit.
“If I had to talk to those people, I’d just say, ‘C’mon, it’s Christmas. Why you gonna do that to people?’” said Morisada.
