Bomb Cyclone's Impact Lingers in Bellingham and Issaquah

Sudden Valley, near Bellingham, Washington, was severely impacted by a bomb cyclone, experiencing significant power outages and damage from fallen trees. The unusual easterly winds, intensified by the Cascade mountains, hit Sudden Valley harder due to its dense tree population and exposure to winds from this direction, which are rare. In contrast, Bellingham was largely spared, as typical wind patterns from the west would have affected it more.
