(SHELTON, WA) -- A morning windstorm packing 50+ MPH winds caused outages for over 11,500 Mason PUD 3 customers today. PUD 3 is now down to 38 small, scattered outages. The largest is found on Auseth Lane & Valley Rose Drive. There is a damaged power line that runs cross country (doesn't follow an established road) that serves 22 customers in this area.
