Thousands of homes on Bainbridge Island — many in the Winslow area — were still without electricity Saturday afternoon after a powerful windstorm swept through Puget Sound.

According to Puget Sound Energy, some customers have been without power since shortly after 8 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 29.

Many neighborhoods throughout the Winslow area lost power at about 1:30 p.m. More than 120 customers east of Weaver Road were also without electricity.

More than 800 homes east of Phelps Road on the north end also lost power just after noon Saturday.

Another 1,200 homes near NE Valley Road also went dark during the height of the storm. More than 1,200 homes in the Lynwood Center area were also without power.

PSE said Saturday there were widespread outages throughout our service area.

“We’ve opened our storm bases as well as our Emergency Coordination Center,” the company said on its website Saturday afternoon.

Many of the outages have been caused by fallen trees and branches. PSE said ongoing drought conditions have left trees stressed.

The high wind warning for the area will stay in place until 6 p.m. Saturday, and PSE said more outages are expected.

The storm has kept emergency responders busy on Bainbridge.

The Bainbridge Island Fire Department reported on its Facebook page that power wires were reported down on Lovgreen Road and Agate Street.

North Madison Avenue was blocked by a downed tree.
