Picture of a road that was significantly damaged by the Nisqually earthquake in 2001 which left a car stuck in an area where part the pavement separated and fell to a level much lower than the rest of the pavement
Today is the 25th anniversary of the Nisqually Earthquake. Many of us remember the significant "shaking and breaking" that occured that day. It's important to remember that we'll experience an even more powerful quake in the future. Learn how to get ready at: kcowa.us/MYSplan

Be prepared for a power outage. Power outabes are more likely to occur during strong winds and winter storms. Power outages may disrupt communications, water utilities, transportation, cause food spoilage and water contamination. Power outages may cause stores and other business to close and may prevent use of medical devices.
Strong winds this afternoon could result in blown down limbs triggering power outages. Our friends at Washington Emergency Management Division have produced a video with tips on what to do before a power outage: buff.ly/RnLeUuY

A graph of the forecast range of winds for both Seattle and Olympia on Wednesday, Dec. 24 2025. For Seattle the wind speed ranges from 12 mph at the low end to 67 mph at the high end. Forecast is provided by the National Weather Service.

Kitsap County Evacuation Levels in a poster form: Level 1 Ready with green background Level 2 Set with yellow background Level 3 Go! with red background
Counties across western WA used READY SET GO! last week. This standard evacuation alert language provided people with a clear understand of what to do as the danger grew.
The same alerts will be used in Kitsap:
- Ready: Evacuation possible

- Go!: Evacuate immediately!
