March Windstorm Event

We understand how difficult it is to be without power, and we appreciate your patience. Crews continued to make steady progress overnight. Small pockets of customers remain without power in King County, Greenwater, and Skykomish. The plan for today is to continue to assess damage in difficult access areas and restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

Below are updates and current estimated restoration times for hard-hit areas:

  • In Skykomish, crews continue to work on the electric system that feeds the town from the west. An additional helicopter patrol is scheduled for later in the morning. We expect to have power restored to our Skykomish customers by today, March 15 at 8 p.m.
  • In King County, crews continue to repair damage to the system throughout the morning. We still expect most customers will have their power restored by today, March 15 at 8 p.m.
  • In Greenwater, Highway 410 remains closed and the combination of deep snow and many fallen trees is preventing crews and equipment from accessing damaged electric equipment. Based on current conditions, restoration efforts could go into Monday. Estimated times of restoration will be updated in the PSE outage map as we are able to reassess for any improvement to travel and access during today's early daylight.

Estimated restoration times by region are available at pse.com/alerts. As crews are assigned to a repair job, the specific time for that outage will be added to the outage map.

When and how you use electricity matters

If you have the flexibility to shift when you use energy-intensive appliances, electric heating/cooling systems, and/or charge EVs away from “peak” periods, you may save money on your monthly bill with Time-of-Use (TOU) rates.

Peak periods are when demand and costs are highest. On a TOU rate plan, you will pay less for electricity used during weekday “off-peak” periods, including all day on weekends and holidays.

Earn rewards while helping manage energy demand by joining one of PSE's Flex programs at pse.com/flex, designed to fit your unique needs and preferences.
