The windstorm that hit western Washington on Saturday night, Nov. 7, 2026, produced a 95 mph gust near Mount Rainier, a 69 mph gust near Hoquiam on the coast and gusts of 41 to 50 mph in and around Seattle, according to the National Weather Service’s list of peak wind reports. The Weather Service’s Seattle office issued the list as a plain-text public information statement at 5:49 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8, in a fixed-width layout that is hard to read on a phone and is replaced when the next statement is issued. This page puts all 74 reports into tables by county.
Caution: these are preliminary reports. The Weather Service’s statement says: “Observations are collected from a variety of sources with varying equipment and exposures.” It adds: “Not all data listed are considered official.”

How to read a location
The Weather Service names a report by distance and direction from a place: 2 NW Snoqualmie Pass means about 2 miles northwest of Snoqualmie Pass. A place name alone means the report came from that place.

Power outages, as reported
These figures come from MyNorthwest’s report (Nov. 8, updated 2:59 p.m.), not from the utilities’ own records:
- Close to 110,000 customers were without power at the peak.
- By 3 p.m. on Sunday, Puget Sound Energy had about 3,100 customers out in Kitsap, Thurston, Pierce and King counties; Seattle City Light had 600; and Snohomish County PUD had about 100.
- Grays Harbor PUD went from more than 9,000 customers out to a handful.
- Southbound Interstate 5 was blocked near U.S. 12 in Lewis County just before 10 p.m. on Saturday, and State Route 113 was closed in Clallam County.
Limits of this page
- The list is the Weather Service’s 5:49 a.m. statement of Nov. 8, 2026. Later statements can add or correct reports.
- Four locations (1 S Eastgate, Enumclaw, 4 N Tacoma and 3 NW Bellingham) appear twice in the statement, with different times, and so twice here.
- Times are as printed in the statement, in Pacific time.
- An hour-by-hour outage history by neighborhood is not public. Utility outage maps show only current outages, so this page cannot say when power failed or returned in a particular neighborhood.
- The outage and road figures are one outlet’s reporting and were not checked against utility or state transportation records.
