"Pipes Burst Across Western Washington, Causing School Closures and Damage"
TL;DR Summary
Frigid temperatures in Western Washington have caused burst pipes, leading to flooding at Sea-Tac Airport, apartments, schools, and a sports bar. Seattle University student housing was flooded with brown water, forcing evacuations, while the Angry Beaver sports bar in Greenwood had to close indefinitely. The Seattle Fire Department responded to approximately 175 burst pipe calls since last Friday. Several schools were closed or delayed due to burst pipes, and experts recommend preventive measures such as covering exposed pipes and keeping taps running on cold days.
