Juanita Drive near 138th is closed right now, apparently as authorities deal with a downed tree that knocked out power to the neighborhood and is blocking the road.
A Patch user reported this on Facebook:
A Finn Hill resident posted the following on her FB page.....Juanita Drive is closed just south of Big Finn Hill Park - tree in middle of road and downed power lines - you have to drive around.
Police are diverting traffic around the closed area of Juanita Drive via 84th Avenue NE.
We are awaiting confirmation from PSE and Kirkland Police about when power will be restored and the road reopened. Check back for updates here.
