"SEATTLE - A winter storm whipped the coasts of Oregon and Washington
Friday, dumped snow in the western mountains and knocked out power to
thousands before sweeping north into Canada.

More than 300,000 homes and businesses were without power at the height of
the storm, when wind gusted to 45 mph in the Puget Sound region. The
strongest gust — 128 mph — was recorded at White Pass, Wash., in the
Cascades. "

Below are the observations mentioned in the article below including wind
gusts to 111 & 128 mph at White Pass, Washington.
