Power was out across the region on Friday. The big reason was the winds from earlier in the night .
At its peak, nearly 2,400 customers were in the dark.
KIRO 7 was in Maple Valley where residents felt the burn of the outage. At least 300 people in the area lost power around 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
Around 9:30 p.m., it was nearly complete darkness on Issaquah Hobart Road.
Nearby, on Cedar Grove Road, KIRO 7 saw Puget Sound Energy crews hard at work.
Just as KIRO 7 crews were pulling up, a transformative blew nearby.
It didn’t take long for power to be restored in the area once crews arrived. Fortuntely, by 11 p.m. it was back on.
KIRO 7 spoke with one man who shared the moment he lost power.
”I was putting my puppy in her kennel and about to go to an obligation, that I am heading back from now, and I saw the power out when I was in the driveway,” he said.
If you are still without power, Puget Sound Energy reminds people to always have their devices like cell phones charged, because you never know how long it will be.
