Providers have gradually been able to restore power to Puget Sound residents across the region, following a major windstorm between Tuesday and Wednesday.

Hundreds of thousands of people were without power for much of Wednesday. As of Thursday afternoon, those numbers have whittled down to a few scattered outages.

The latest: 

Puget Sound Energy Outage Map – 1,197 customers without power (across 1,215 total outages)
Seattle City Light – 1,376 customers
Snohomish County PUD – 13,537 customers
Tacoma Power – 2,300 customers

However, there are some people in the region who won’t get their power back until Saturday. PSE hopes to restore service in Kitsap County by 12pm Friday. Tacoma Public utilities reports their customers should have electricity again by Friday afternoon.
