PORT ANGELES –– Power was out for much of Sunday for about 2,500 Clallam County Public Utility District customers, said spokesman Michael Howe.

Howe said at about 5 p.m. there was a transmission line issue and that crews were working to locate the problem.

He said high winds were the suspected cause of the outage.

Howe said that by 10:40 p.m., power had been restored to all customers. Because the problem was a transmission issue, PUD worked with Bonneville Power Administration to restore service.
