Progress on the Sammamish Rowing Association's (SRA) new boathouse is coming along! Here is an update from the association:

Two huge trucks laden with materials for the new boathouse rumbled down the path this morning, and the unloading crew quickly got to work. Four hours later, the job was done. The parts and pieces for our new boathouse structure were signed, sealed and delivered today!

Our amazing community of rowers, donors and volunteers got us to this stage. Generous people within our SRA community have already raised $1.5 million for the new boathouse project. Those vital early dollars paid for:

• design and engineering work
• permitting
• building site preparation
• wetland mitigation
• path and parking lot improvements
• the turn lane
• the foundation
• materials for the building

Completing the project will cost another $1.5 million, so we're already halfway there. Thank you for getting us this far.

If you were one of the thousands without power for nearly a week, you could get a break on next month's bill.

Puget Sound Energy says it plans to give a $50 credit to customers who lost power for five or more days during last week's winter storm.

"The prolonged power outages from the storms created a real hardship for many of our customers," said Sue McLain, PSE senior vice president of Delivery Operations. "The bill credit won't take back the dark evenings and chill in the bones that many families experienced. Rather, it is a gesture of our appreciation for their understanding and patience."

According to PSE, this is the first time, since passing the 120-consecutive-hour power outage credit in 2008, the utility has had to activate it.

PSE says the credit will automatically be provided to all customers without power for five days or longer.

The credit should show up on your Feb. 15th bill.

If it doesn't - you should notify PSE at: 888-225-5773.
