A tree that fell in Issaquah Dec. 29 took out power and communications cables and crushed a car on Second Avenue Northwest.
The incident occurred just before 4 p.m., said Comcast spokesman Steve Kipp. But because power lines were knocked out, too, the Comcast repair crew had to wait for Puget Sound Energy to restore electricity before it could fix Comcast’s fiber optic line.
