Snow, wind cause thousands to lose power in north county

Nearly 5,500 people are without power in north Snohomish County and Camano Island, as of 12:30 p.m. Monday. It’s unclear how long the power outage will last.

“Crews are continuing to work safely to restore power throughout the region due to snow and wind,” according to a Snohomish County PUD social media post.

Snohomish County PUD’s power outage map shows the number and location of outages. A spokesperson for PUD could not be reached, but a recorded message said there is no estimate for when power will be restored.
