From the Seattle Times, October 19, 2007:
"1 killed, 1 hurt in windstorm"
Tens of thousands of people also lost power for a time in the storm, which toppled trees and blew debris onto roadways, cars and houses. In Kent, a woman was seriously injured when a 60-foot-tall cottonwood tree snapped in half just after 2 p.m., falling on her as she stood beside her car in a parking lot at Kent Station, a shopping complex near the Regional Justice Center. "There were trees everywhere," said Teresa Martin, the manager of a nearby Bath & Body Works store. "We tried to keep her awake, but she wasn't talking." The woman was also taken to Harborview, said Cpt. Kyle Ohashi of the Kent Fire Department. He was unable to say how badly she was hurt or which part of her body was struck by the falling tree.
