March Windstorm Event 

Thursday, March. 12, 2026 - 6 p.m.

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.

Employees Make a Difference

PSE knows the importance of community – that’s why we encourage our employees to get involved. We do this through teamPSE activities, board and service club participation, and volunteer match contributions. In 2018, the Puget Sound Energy Foundation matched a total of $105,157.66 in giving and volunteer hours.

Members of teamPSE include PSE employees, retirees, families and friends who freely donate their time and talents in support of volunteer initiatives in our communities. Some of these activities include tutoring, building houses with Habitat for Humanity, evasive weed removal, trail restoration, sorting and repacking food for local food banks, and United Way Day of Caring events.
