Severe flooding in our service area continues to create challenges for power restoration. Flooded roads, landslides, and unstable ground conditions are limiting safe access to damaged equipment for our repair crews. Our natural gas infrastructure may also be affected.

We have temporarily removed Estimated Time of Restoration information from our outage map for affected areas until we can safely assess damage and begin repairs. When our crews gain access and can start assessing damage, they will provide information to be reflected on the outage map as to when to expect restored service. As weather allows, we are using drones and helicopters to patrol unreachable areas by air.

While weather conditions are currently calm, another round of rain and wind is expected on Monday, which may impact our crews' ability to continue restoration work safely as well as result in more outages. We are closely monitoring the situation and will adjust our response as needed. We will have crews ready to respond as any new outages occur.

We appreciate your patience during this time. The safety of our crews and customers is our top priority, and we are committed to restoring power as quickly and safely as possible. We will continue providing updates as our restoration efforts progress.

Easements

Access to private property

In order to provide you with electric and natural gas service, Puget Sound Energy may need easements to access private property. An easement secures our long-term ability to access the property, operate our facilities, manage vegetation and make future system improvements to keep power and natural gas flowing to our customers.
