WHIDBEY ISLAND, Wash. – Our region was spared the worst of Friday’s storm but many to the south of us weren’t so lucky.

Tens of thousands of Snohomish County residents spent the weekend cold and in the dark.

Puget Sound energy reports most had their power restored by late Sunday, November 6th.

But thousands remain without power on Whidbey Island this morning, mostly south of Coupeville.

The utility says crews are working to get the lights back on as soon as possible.
