Restoration efforts continue today with significant progress in some areas east of Seattle impacted by the storm including Issaquah and Sammamish, Bellevue and other cities. While commercial power outages remain, our emergency teams have restored wireless service to the vast majority of the impacted area deploying over 180 generators in the first 36 hours following the storm. Additional SatCOLTs have been sent to impacted areas including southern King County in Maple Valley with an additional truck heading to Renton. Overlapping coverage is also helping to keep customers connected, and despite some hazardous conditions that remain, our teams are continuing to deploy temporary equipment and generators today.

A powerful windstorm hit the Pacific Northwest earlier this week, bringing destructive winds and rain that caused widespread damage and power outages in the state of Washington. T-Mobile teams have been activated to support recovery. Here's an update on how we're supporting restoration, with a focus on the heaviest-hit areas in greater Seattle,

Network Restoration 
Our network emergency management team, local market teams and National Operations Centers are closely monitoring network performance. Some T-Mobile customers in areas east of the Seattle area - Bothell, Bellevue, Sammamish, Mercer Island, Renton and other cities - are experiencing service disruptions due to commercial power outages. Our teams are navigating hazards such as downed power lines and trees to continue assessing sites and making repairs where it's safe.

While commercial power is being restored, T-Mobile has deployed over 100 generators, with another 100 available today. Our network teams have temporary connectivity equipment, including heavy duty SatCOLTs (Satellite on Light Trucks) and SatCOWs (Satellite Cell on Wheels) to provide additional connectivity.
