How Duvall Random Acts of Kindness Began in 2006…
In December of 2006, Duvall experienced a devastating windstorm. Countless trees came down and there were powerlines strewn all over. Most of Duvall was without power for 10 days and Puget Sound Energy worked around the clock to restore power as quickly as possible. Our little town looked like a war zone. SO many people lost power that it was impossible to get a generator, they were sold out everywhere. Countless residents left town to seek shelter where there was power in Redmond and other surrounding towns. Only a few of our local businesses were able to get generators, so many of them lost thousands of dollars in perishables and in sales, right before Christmas.
Each year my family looked forward to the beautiful holiday lights that line downtown Duvall during the holidays. After the storm, Main Street was completely dark. All I could think about were the business owners and all the sales they were losing by not being open, and the families that those businesses supported.
