    BELLINGHAM - Sehome High School was set to open Wednesday, Feb. 27, after the school was closed Tuesday due to a power outage from a blown transformer.

    The transformer exploded at about 11:55 p.m. Monday and started a small fire in an outbuilding of the school. The power was out for much of Tuesday, and classes were canceled.

    Puget Sound Energy crews and electricians worked into Tuesday evening running new lines and installing a new transformer to restore power to the school. Because heat was expected to be restored later in the evening, the district advised students to wear warmer clothes to school Wednesday.
