Heavy rain and high winds slowed down traffic, brought down branches and knocked out power to several communities around Western Washington on Saturday, from Bellevue to Lynnwood, and Woodinville, to Granite Falls.

About 6,000 customers were without power in Snohomish and about 800 customers in Issaquah lost power.
  
Nearly 2,000 customers in North Bend had no power this afternoon after tree limbs landed on power lines.

Wind gusts reached 39 mph is North Bend and Snoqualmie and Everett had a gust of 36 mph.

We’ll see some showers and highs in the 60s on Sunday. Temperatures will warm up next week, with highs in the 70s on Wednesday.
