OLYMPIA — The massive snow and freezing rain storm that pummeled the Pacific Northwest caused a power outage for several hours at Gov. Chris Gregoire’s office, legislative buildings and other state agencies in Olympia.

Power was mostly restored by about 2 p.m. Friday.

Gregoire and lawmakers are in the midst of a 60-day session, but some hearings were canceled on Friday.
