March Windstorm Event

We know being without power is difficult, especially with cold temperatures, and we appreciate your patience. Crews are out in full force working around the clock to make repairs to our electric system as weather has improved, and safe access has been established in most areas. 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. East of the town going up to Stevens Pass is still under high avalanche danger according to NWAC. We plan to patrol the area by helicopter as weather permits to help determine an estimated restoration time for the area. Nine crews are actively working on damage previously discovered.
  • In Greenwater, we have identified many areas of damage on the transmission line that serves the area. Crews’ progress has been hampered due to the closure of Hwy 410 and we are working to safely access the known damage for repairs. We do not yet have an estimated restoration time but will have more information once we are able to complete helicopter patrols. We currently have five crews working in Greenwater to repair accessible damage.
  • In King County, we continue to assess the damage from intense snowfall yesterday and expect most customers will have their power restored by March 15th at 8 p.m.
