High winds hit parts of Western Washington early Monday, knocking out electrical service for more than 50,000 utility customers. The National Weather Service reported gusts of 60 mph in Hoquiam, 56 in Olympia and 56 in Everett. Puget Sound Energy reported nearly 40,000 customers out of service. Spokeswoman Lindsey Walimaki (wall-uh-MAK'-ee) says the hardest hit areas are Thurston County and Kitsap County, especially Poulsbo. A spokesman for the Snohomish County PUD, Neil Neroutsos (ner-OOT'-soh), reported a peak of 9,000 outages, mostly around Arlington and Camano Island. The Cowlitz County PUD reported more than 5,000 outages, including the Kelso area. Weather Service meteorologist Dustin Guy said winds would ease late Monday morning.
