Utility crews Monday had restored electricity to most customers in Clallam and Jefferson counties affected by Sunday’s storm, but some outages remained after numerous trees and limbs struck lines and cut power.
Jefferson County
As of 2 p.m. Monday, Jefferson Public Utility District service to the Bolton Peninsula and South Point, Werner and West Valley roads had been restored.
Crews were also working on or en route to outages on the Coyle Peninsula and Ludlow Bay, Hubbard Creek, Olele Point, Jensen and Old Fort Townsend roads.
Crews were working from south to north.
There were new outages off Hazel Point Road on the Coyle Peninsula and in Irondale, but almost all customers were expected to have their service restored Monday, according to spokesman Barney Burke.
Clallam County
As of 3 p.m. Monday, all Clallam PUD customers who lost power in Sunday’s storm had it restored, according to spokesman Mike Howe.
Port Angeles
Craig Fulton, Port Angeles’ director of public works and utilities, reported that high winds and downed trees began to affect service around 4:20 p.m. Sunday. There were approximately 4,035 Port Angeles customers without power at one point Sunday.
About 3,000 of those customers had their power restored before 7 p.m. Sunday.
At 9 p.m. Sunday, power was restored to another 1,000 customers on the I Street substation.
Trees broke lines at Ocean View Cemetery; Fourth, Fifth and K streets; Eighth, Ninth and I streets; and the 1200 block of East Sixth Street.
Crews restored power to the last customers by 11 p.m. Sunday.
Olympic National Park
Most Olympic National park roads and campgrounds experienced only minimal damage, according to spokeswoman Barb Maynes, but park employees were working on a number of issues Monday.
As of 2 p.m. Monday, the Upper Queets Road was closed by seven downed trees.
The Lower Queets Road is open as far as the Hartzell boat launch.
The Staircase and Mora campgrounds are closed until park administration can get details about their status.
The Ozette campground is flooded and closed.
