New storm threatens wind-weary Washington, power restoration efforts continue

Hundreds of thousands of people in western Washington were still without power Thursday evening, days after a powerful and deadly “bomb cyclone” ripped through the region. Some customers were expected to be in the dark into the weekend.

As of 6:40 p.m. Thursday, at least 264,450 outages were reported across western Washington.

At least two people were killed in this week’s storm.

A woman was struck by a tree and killed while taking a shower Tuesday night, according to the Bellevue Fire Department (BFD). The BFD said the woman was hit a little before 7 p.m. Tuesday and she was declared dead soon after first responders arrived.

Another woman died when a large tree fell on a homeless encampment off of Alderwood Mall Parkway in Lynnwood just after 7 p.m. Tuesday, according to South County Fire (SCF). SCF said the woman was in her 50s and no other injuries were reported.
