Puget Sound Energy has been called to repair the power lines. Crews have a lot of work to do because lines on both sides of the road were affected.
Issaquah-Hobart Road was down to one lane through the area, but had reopened around 7:30 a.m.
Traffic was backed up for several miles northbound.
The phone company was also called to to repair damaged lines in the area.
