SEATTLE — Thousands are still without power in Western Washington four days after a weekend windstorm.

KOMO-TV reports most of the nearly 750,000 customers who lost power after hundreds of trees and branches were blown down, taking utility poles and power lines down with them. But people are still without power in pockets around the region.

As of Wednesday morning, Snohomish PUD still has 13,500 customers without power. About 3,000 Puget Sound Energy customers also remain in the dark. In Seattle, only a handful of homes are still without electricity.
