The Snohomish County Public Utilities District said it could be Thursday before power is restored to all the customers who lost service.
Puget Sound Energy was still fixing scattered outages in Whatcom, Skagit and Island counties.
Employees of the Ivar's waterfront restaurant at Mukilteo were repairing damage caused by wind and waves.
The windstorm kicked up waves that broke off a deck, smashed windows and washed through the restaurant piling up tables and chairs.
Crews Clear Downed Trees
Customers and employees evacuated when the building started shaking on its pilings so no one was hurt. Manager Steve Anderson hopes to reopen in a couple of weeks.
A man died at a hospital after a windblown tree fell onto his parked car at South Whidbey State Park, State Patrol Lt. Jeff Sass said.
The Coast Guard reported that three people had to take to a skiff when the 58-foot fishing boat Martle capsized on Hood Canal, west of Seattle.
The skipper, Ed Einarson of Blaine, and two crew members were taken aboard a Coast Guard patrol boat in seas running 4 to 6 feet and winds of 30 to 40 mph, Petty Officer Kurt Fredrickson said.
The storm cut electricity to more than 82,000 customers in the Snohomish County Public Utility District north of Seattle, 5,700 in Seattle's north end and about 16,000 in areas served by Puget Sound Energy, mostly in Skagit and Island counties, officials said.
The 911 emergency phone system in Clallam County at the north end of the Olympic Peninsula was out temporarily but was restored by mid-evening.
East of the Cascades, gusts of 72 mph were reported at Rattlesnake Ridge near the Hanford nuclear reservation.
The winds resulted from passage of a cold front that could drop overnight temperatures into the teens in much of Eastern Washington by early Friday, forecasters said.
