Description
At least 17,000 people were left without power after four substations were attacked in Pierce County on Christmas Day.
Two Tacoma Power utilities substations and one Puget Sound Energy (PSE) substation were vandalized Sunday morning. Another Puget Sound Energy substation was set on fire Sunday evening.
Pierce County Sheriff's deputies responded to a burglary call at the Tacoma Public Utilities substation at 22312 46th Avenue E just before 5:30 a.m. Sunday morning. Although nothing was stolen, someone vandalized and damaged equipment inside, which caused a power outage in the area.
