A woman was trapped for 10 hours in an elevator at the Port of Port Angeles administrative building before firefighters rescued her early Thursday morning.
The woman, who works as a janitor in the building, was discovered at about 4:30 a.m. by security personnel as they made their normal sweeps of the building at 338 W. Front St., Port Angeles Fire Capt. Jamie Mason said.
A cord, possibly from a vacuum cleaner, became stuck in the elevator door, seemingly preventing the door from working properly, Mason said.
“For some reason, the elevator just wasn’t functioning,” he said.
