Three fires burn across the island leaving all who are stuck on it displaced or stranded.
Sarah Boyd is a Bothell resident. She left this past weekend for the island to vacation with her family at their timeshare. On Tuesday morning, Boyd left her house to pick up her husband and son from the airport, not knowing that they wouldn’t be making it back.
“We were going to stay there for hours and see if we could get through or if we were going to turn back around to where the airport is where there is power and food and bathrooms. So, that’s what we did,” said Boyd.“We spent the night here in our lovely minivan …myself, my husband, and my son…bought pillows and blankets and just hunkered down,” said Boyd.
