Storms have left many along U.S. 2 without power for days

EVERETT — It’s been more than a decade since Skykomish Mayor Henry Sladek has seen a winter storm this big.

About 3 feet of snow walloped the town. Main roads have been closed. Power and phone lines have been out for days.

Those who live in Skykomish are typically prepared to survive at least a week without electricity. They also have ways to communicate. Cellphone service seems to be working and a walk to the community center can be doable.

But hundreds of others live outside of Skykomish, in the mountains of unincorporated King County.
