We know how disruptive it is to be without power and that you need to know when your power is coming back on so you can make plans.
To provide accurate restoration times, we need to assess the extent of the damage and what repairs need to be made. We started damage assessment early this morning in areas where it was safe for our teams to be in the field. We will set estimated restoration times once we have an initial assessment of damage. These restoration times are usually at a county level and will be posted on pse.com/alerts when available.
Concerns with this storm are road closures, continued flooding, and saturated and unstable ground. This could make it hard for crews to access areas for damage assessment.
Current conditions
Crews have been working throughout the morning to assess the damage to our electric system. In areas where access is an issue, we are flying helicopters to help identify damage.
Island, Pierce, Thurston, and Kittitas counties were hardest hit in this latest round of stormy weather. We currently have 15 substations and 25 transmission lines offline system-wide.
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.
