Downed trees, power lines briefly block Federal Way road
Two towering trees fell across a road in Federal Way late Tuesday, pulling down power lines and briefly blocking lanes.
The 150-foot trees came down shortly after 10 p.m. on South 312th Street at Seventh Avenue South.
No one was injured but a downed power line meant several homes in the neighborhood were without power, according to South King Fire & Rescue.
Puget Sound Energy crews responded to fix the power line while crews removed debris from the road.
It reopened after about an hour.
