Washington windstorm kills two and cuts power across state
A Pacific Northwest windstorm left two dead in separate accidents and knocked out power for thousands in Washington and Oregon. Hien Nguyen, 19, of Lacey, died when a 120-foot fir tree fell on his pickup. A 50-year-old Seattle architect died in an avalanche at Crystal Mountain. Interstate 90 faced closures as crews mitigated slides. Utilities reported tens of thousands without power, with 85 to 100 mph gusts in swing areas and 5,000 Seattle City Light customers affected locally.
