Not the first time a raccoon has taken out the power in Seattle

This seems to happen here not infrequently. I recall this as the next most recent incident:

I'm constantly amazed that more isn't done to raccoon-proof substations here in Seattle. Not because of the inconvenience to tens of thousands of powerless humans, but out of love and a desire to protect the raccoons.
