The Kitsap Peninsula was hit by power outages due to an early storm

An estimated 25,000 homes in the Puget Sound area, most of them in Kitsap County, lost power Saturday morning after a windy storm with gusts exceeding 45 mph arrived in the region.

Puget Sound Energy reported outages early Saturday in Kington and Poulsbo in North Kitsap, a large portion of the Brownsville-Illahee area near East Bremerton, through the Burley-Olalla area in South Kitsap and a significant portion of Bainbridge Island.

The largest outages reported included more than 1,500 customers on Bainbridge, including near the Winslow business district, about 2,000 customers in Port Orchard and more than 1,200 in Olalla, according to PSE.

PSE estimates most power will be restored by midday. Track these estimates on the PSE outage map and sign up for updates on specific outages.
