EVERETT — About 12,000 Snohomish County Public Utility District customers remained without power Friday afternoon after a windstorm blew through Western Washington.
Schools in the Everett and Stanwood-Camano districts canceled or delayed classes on some campuses that were left without power.
Forecasters expect a calmer weekend with some sunshine and a return next week to occasional rain showers and mountain snow.
Winds reached 49 mph Thursday night at Sea-Tac Airport, 62 mph at Paine Field in Everett and 69 at the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.
Continued scattered outages were reported Friday in the areas of Paine Field, south Everett, Tulalip and Marysville, PUD spokesman Neil Neroutsos said. Outages peaked Thursday at about 50,000 customers, he said.
PUD brought on extra crews to help restore power, he said. Many of the outages were attributed to trees knocked down by winds.
