EVERETT — About 26,300 customers across Snohomish County and Camano Island still awaited power late Monday after Friday night’s windstorm.

Monday marked the third consecutive day of widespread power outages from the storm that toppled trees and downed power lines, leaving residents to endure several days without electricity or heat.

The Snohomish Public Utility District expected to restore power to about 90% of customers by 11 p.m. Monday, PUD spokesperson Aaron Swaney said. The lingering 10% without power represented about 20,000 customers.

At the peak, as many as 190,000 lost power in Friday’s storm. On Monday, significant pockets of outages remained as crews continued repairs around the clock. Between 20 and 30 crews were expected to work overnight.
