Republic Services alert: no pickups Wednesday, Jan. 12

Bomb cyclone storm impacts

A bomb cyclone windstorm lashed Bellevue the night of Tuesday, Nov. 19, bringing down trees throughout the city and leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Most city facilities have power and many are available to warm up and charge devices during business hours. The mayor proclaimed a civil emergency in the city due to the storm's extensive damage. Regular updates about the city's response to the storm are being posted at Bomb Cyclone Storm.
