SEATTLE — A tree fell on a car in Redmond Wednesday evening closing the roadway for several hours and a tree fell onto a Sammamish home overnight amid a Wind Advisory that has since expired for the Puget Sound lowlands.
Crews were at the scene of a Sammamish home Thursday morning after a tree crashed onto the roof. The homeowners told KING 5 they were asleep in another room when the tree came down into their primary bedroom and were uninjured. Crews are working to remove the branches and assess the damage.
A tree fell and struck an SUV on Northeast 116th Street in Redmond Wednesday, which closed the roadway for several hours.
The driver of the car was uninjured, according to a department tweet. Redmond public works was able to clear the tree from the roadway around 9:50 p.m.
A large tree also fell in West Seattle Wednesday evening, interrupting transit routes and causing traffic delays.
The tree fell on 35th Avenue between Southwest Avalon Way and Southwest Snoqualmie street, blocking all northbound and southbound lanes, according to the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT).
A tree branch also pierced the top of a UPS truck in the Littletree area of Redmond. Paul Randal posted a picture on Twitter of the damage. He said the UPS driver was not in the truck at the time and was uninjured.
