Puget Sound Energy Woodinville Outages: 600 Without Power
Puget Sound Energy is still working to restore power in Woodinville after the Monday snowstorm.
WOODINVILLE, WA - More than 600 Puget Sound Energy customers are still without service on Tuesday morning, although that number has been greatly reduced from the more than 4,000 who were without power on Monday.
There are still a handful of outages across the city, from 38 people along the eastern shores of Cottage Lake to about 420 people in the Welcome Lake area - the largest single outage that remains in the city.
Puget Sound Energy says that its crews are out in full force, but the nature of the outages - many small ones spread across an area stretching from Bothell to Centralia - is making for slow work.
