Most of those outages are on Bainbridge Island and north Kitsap County.

Two more crews are expected to arrive at the Kitsap Storm Base Sunday evening and will be immediately sent to Bainbridge Island to help with restoration efforts, PSE said.

The Port Gamble substation was brought back on line before 2 p.m. Sunday, which restored electricity to “a good number of customers,” PSE said in an update Sunday.

In the Puget Sound area, PSE said roughly 70,000 customers were still without power as of 2 p.m. Sunday.

At the height of Saturday’s windstorm, approximately 238,000 PSE customers lost electricity.

Homes in isolated pockets across Bainbridge, from South Beach to Seabold, remained without power Sunday afternoon.

Thirty-three outages were reported in different locations across the island.

Outages range in size to one home to places where 50 or more houses are without power.
