We appreciate our customers’ patience today! Crews are working tirelessly to restore power as quickly and safely as possible, with power restored to nearly 90% of customers.
Work will continue around the clock until power is restored to all customers. While field crews report significant progress, they are still encountering significant issues in Skykomish and Greenwater.
In Skykomish, crew work is focused on the westside, where there are major points of damage on the system. Work is ongoing to make repairs. It will take into Friday to identify the rest of the damage points, and then time to fix it. This is complicated by remote terrain and heavy snow coming into the area could further slow patrols. At this point, we do not have an estimated time of restoration but anticipate it could be into the weekend. We have multiple crew resources working in the area to try to restore power as soon as possible.
In Greenwater, crews are working to restore the transmission line. While the repairs are being done on transmission, crews will start patrols on the distribution system. We do not have an estimated time of restoration until these patrols can be more fully completed.
