March Windstorm Event

Thursday, March. 12, 2026 – 6 a.m.

Damaging winds overnight have caused outages around our service area, with Kitsap, North King, South King and Skagit counties being hit the hardest. We know how challenging and stressful it can be to lose power, especially when temperatures are forecasted to be low.

Our crews have been working hard since the windy weather rolled in, and they will continue to work until all customers are restored.

When is my power coming back on?

We know that you need information to make plans. To provide accurate restoration times, we need to assess the extent of the damage and what repairs need to be made. Damage assessment starts as soon as it's safe for our teams to be in the field. As crews work through neighborhoods, they may discover additional damage that must be repaired. We will set estimated restoration times once we have an initial assessment of damage.

Visit PSE’s Alerts and Advisories page for information on our response efforts: pse.com/alerts.


   
alert 

Safety first. Never touch or go within 35 feet of downed power lines because they might be energized. Call PSE at 1-888-225-5773 or 911 to report problems.
