Extended Power Outages in WA Leave Thousands in the Dark

A bomb cyclone that hit Western Washington with winds up to 74 mph has left over 71,000 customers without power four days later, with utilities working to restore service. Puget Sound Energy and other providers are prioritizing repairs, but the extensive damage has delayed restoration efforts. The storm caused significant damage, including downed trees and power lines, and killed two people. While milder weather is expected, some areas, especially remote ones, may remain without power into next week.
