March Windstorm Event

Power outages are never convenient; we thank you for your patience as our crews work throughout the night to make repairs to our electric system. We have also brought in additional crews to help us assess damage 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. We patrolled the area by helicopter and found extensive damage on the east side of town, which still requires repair. Crews are actively working to repair damage previously discovered on the west side of town to begin to restore power.
  • In Greenwater, we have identified many areas of damage on the transmission line that serves the area. We do not yet have an estimated restoration time but crews are actively assessing the extensive damage done to the electric system as we are able.
  • In King County, we continue to assess the damage from the recent intense snowfall. We continue to find damage to the system including trees in lines, which require removal before repair work can begin. We expect most customers will have their power restored by today, March 15th at 8 p.m.

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.
