Bomb Cyclone Leaves Northwest in Darkness and Despair
TL;DR
Washington state has not sent additional resources to areas affected by recent windstorms because no local jurisdictions have requested state assistance. Governor Jay Inslee's office stated that state agencies are monitoring the situation and are ready to help if needed. In Washington, disaster response starts at the local level, and the state only intervenes when local resources are exhausted. The financial impact of the storm is still being assessed, and federal assistance may be sought if necessary.
