UPDATE: Power outages persist on North Olympic Peninsula after Sunday storm

Utility crews were working throughout the night and into today to restore power to customers in Clallam and Jefferson counties after Sunday’s storm, but some outages remain after numerous trees and limbs struck lines and cut power.

Clallam County

Under 200 customers remained without power at 10:11 a.m. Crews continued to work to restore power. Pole replacement outages may last into the afternoon.

■ Lake Sutherland Area — Power is restored to the S. Shore area. An outage persists along the highway to East Beach for about 159 customers.
