Tracking post-storm power outages with Seattle City Light
Seattle City Light (SCL) is focused on restoring power to the remaining 5,500 customers following the windstorm, having already restored power to approximately 29,000 overnight.
SEATTLE - Thousands of customers are still without power Monday morning after this weekend's windstorm.
The numbers have fluctuated throughout the day as Puget Sound Energy had crews trying to get ahead of stormy weather for western Washington.
As of early Monday morning, more than 18,000 PSE customers were without power.
Saturday night, about 148,000 customers lost power by 10 p.m., Puget Sound Energy continues to update their outage map. On Sunday evening, more than 96,000 were still without power.
In a statement on their website, the power company says they dispatched helicopters to assess transmission line damage in Pierce and Thurston counties as they activate the Emergency Coordination Center.

What they're saying:
"Damage is the heaviest in Pierce and Thurston counties. The high winds and resulting tree damage not only downed the smaller, local power lines, but also damaged the larger transmission lines – the power lines that bring power into the communities," read the statement, in part.
"Transmission lines need to be brought back into service before crews can focus on the local distribution system within neighborhoods and communities," they continued.

1 dead, several injured after tree falls near Roy, WA during Halloween event
A community trick-or-treat party at McKenna Park in unincorporated Pierce County turned into a mass incident Saturday when a large tree fell onto vendor booths, killing a man in his 30s. The Pierce County Sheriff's Office reported five to seven people were initially trapped, with others suffering injuries ranging from minor to serious.
FOX 13 issued a weather alert day as the weekend kicked off. While this is not a major storm, increasing winds, mountain snow, and continued rain could cause problems like localized flooding from clogged storm drains. This is common at this time of year, especially due to it coinciding with a lot of trees losing their leaves.

What you can do:
Keep reading for tips on dealing with power outages.
- Stay Informed: Keep a battery-powered radio or use your smartphone to stay updated on weather conditions and power restoration efforts.
- Safety first. Never touch or go within 35 feet of downed power lines because they might be energized.
- Conserve Heat: If temperatures are low, especially in later evening hours, close off unused rooms to retain heat and use blankets and warm clothing to stay warm. Avoid using gas stoves or ovens for heating.
- Use Generators Safely: If using a generator, ensure it is placed outdoors and away from windows to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Preserve Food: Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to maintain cold temperatures. A full freezer can keep food frozen for about 48 hours.
- Emergency Kit: Have an emergency kit ready with essentials such as flashlights, batteries, water, non-perishable food, and a first-aid kit.
- Check on Neighbors: Look out for elderly or vulnerable neighbors who may need assistance during the outage.
- Residents are encouraged to report outages to their respective utility providers and to follow safety guidelines to ensure their well-being during the inclement weather.
