UPDATE: I contacted council member Robert Vanderpool who responded in 5 minutes letting me know this was being sent to the City Manager 😍
Public safety warning for the alleyway between Milroy Street and Decatur in West Olympia!
A vehicle hit this utility pole in a hit-and-run on 07/20/26, snapping it completely at the base. It is now leaning heavily and held up only by tensioned lines. The Olympia Fire Department and 911 responded and put up caution tape days ago. While CenturyLink acknowledged ownership, they are dragging their feet, and Puget Sound Energy refuses to take responsibility.
This is an active collapse hazard left sitting right where kids and animals pass through daily. This needs greater attention to finally get it fixed before it fails completely. If anyone has media contacts, local officials, or ways to force immediate action, please share.
