Monday, December 18, 2006 - Page updated at 12:00 AM Red Cross, cities providing shelter
Several overnight shelters have been set up around the Puget Sound area for people affected by power outages or storm damage. The Red Cross suggests people bring toiletries, including toothpaste, personal-hygiene items, medications, blankets, sleeping bags, pillows, clothing, towels and washcloths. Bringing toys, stuffed animals and games will likely make the stay more pleasant for young children. Pets are not allowed at shelters. The list below includes some shelters set up by the Red Cross and some by cities.

Special-needs shelter A special-needs shelter has been set up for medically fragile residents — such as those dependent on oxygen machines and other electrically powered devices.
