DESW1 and LAPW1 recorded 58 mph gusts from time to time.
The wider storm
A strong Pacific weather system moved through Western Washington and produced wind gusts up to 70 mph in many parts of the region. The strong winds blew down some trees, knocked power out to as many as 200,000 through the area, delayed or cancelled ferry service, and produced heavy rain amounts that produced some local urban flooding. The peak of the wind event occurred between 2 and 7 PM, adversely impacting the afternoon and evening commute. A tree fell on a vehicle in Renton, killing the 32-year old female driver and seriously injured a passenger. Another tree fell onto a mobile home in Port Orchard, seriously injuring a 15-year old girl. Power restoration cost just over $7 million.
