A large landslide on Friday near Cabin Creek on Snoqualmie Pass caused significant damage to transmission lines that go through the area. Crews worked over the weekend to assess damage including flying drones. Access is limited and assessments are ongoing as to whether crews can safely work in the area.
While the landslide caused damage to PSE’s high voltage lines, there are no customers currently out of power as a result of this incident. Customers in the Hyak and Easton areas are being supplied power through the redundant high voltage lines, which currently have no alternative circuit configurations from the east
With more rain and wind forecasted this week, there is a concern of prolonged power outages if the active high voltage lines are impacted.
