Original Post 6:38pm
Nearly 8000 people lost power around 6:30pm from Boulevard Park to Lake Burien on Tuesday night. Restoration was not expected until the morning. Another 1600 plus customers east of Military Road above Tukwila were out as well.
The winds were not expected to be more than 40mph in the primary Seattle area but gusts as high at 60mph or more were whipping the area as a so called "bomb cyclone" came over the northwest from northern California, Oregon up to north of Seattle.
Winds were expected to moderate after midnight.
