The power was knocked out for about 550 customers in the Scott Lake area of Thurston County at about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, according to Puget Sound Energy’s outage map.

Puget Sound Energy believed the outage was caused when a vehicle crashed and damaged utility equipment. Power was originally expected to be restored by 9 a.m., but that estimate was later changed to noon.
