Bomb cyclone strikes Washington state, causing one death and power outages for 700,000

A powerful storm, described as a "bomb cyclone," has struck the Pacific Northwest, resulting in one death and widespread power outages. A woman was killed in Lynnwood when a tree fell on a homeless encampment. As of Wednesday morning, nearly 710,000 customers in Washington state were without power, with King and Snohomish counties being the hardest hit. Strong winds caused significant damage, downing trees and power lines. The storm is expected to weaken as it moves through the region, but it has already brought heavy rain, high winds, and blizzard conditions in some areas. Wind gusts reached 101 mph off the coast of Vancouver Island.
