Bellingham Herald Building in the dark. Like the newspaper being in the dark, but they did get their January 7 edition out.
Must be a headlight from parking lot across street shining in left window.

Bellingham Food Co-op at corner of Forest and Holly. Some traffic lights were still working as they were on a different circuit.
For a few blocks, that outage lasted several hours. Not Y2K.
Remember Y2K?
A line came down feeding some substation. I notice they have been working on a few substations recently. Must be doing some upgrades. This day's weather was normal.
My workplace was out of power, but I was able to do some cleaning with the LED headlights from my bicycle. They slide off the handlebar mounts and work like flashlights.
It was a memorable day. Day of the downtown power outage.
