About 6,000 without power, including in Thurston, after wind gusts blow through area

About 6,000 Puget Sound Energy customers were without power Sunday, including in Thurston County, after strong winds blew through the area Sunday morning, according to the utility.

PSE’s map shows outages from Whatcom County to Thurston County, with the greatest concentration in the Seattle and Olympia areas.

The wind may have knocked trees over into power lines or dislodged branches onto lines.

Many of the outages have been reported and were under investigation Sunday.
