Wind knocks out power around Snohomish County
Gusty winds early Friday evening caused power outages throughout Snohomish County.
In the Alderwood Manor area near Lynnwood High School and in the Lake Goodwin area near Stanwood, more than 6,465 Snohomish County Public Utility District customers were without power at about 8 p.m., said PUD spokesman Mike Thorne.
Heavy rain and moderate winds caused trees and branches to fall on power lines, he said. By 10 p.m. Friday, the number of customers still without power was down to 750, mostly in north Snohomish County and on Camano Island, Thorne said.
PUD crews were expected to work through the night to restore power to all customers.
North County Fire Battalion Chief Christian Davis said crews worked to clear downed trees from at least six roads in the fire district.
