Atmospheric river event

Yesterday’s damaging winds caused outages around our service area, with Kitsap, North King and Skagit counties being hit the hardest. We know how challenging and stressful it can be to lose power, especially when you are already dealing with the impacts of severe weather.

Our crews have been working hard since the windy weather rolled in, and they will continue to work until all customers are restored.

We're closely monitoring the forecast for this evening, which calls for another round of stormy weather with the potential for widespread moderate to heavy rain and wind.

Our response teams and additional crews from outside our region are prepared to assess any new damage and restore power as long as it is safe to do so. Above all, safety comes first — please take extra precautions and stay safe out there!

When is my power coming back on? 

We know that you need to make plans. To provide accurate restoration times, we need to assess the extent of the damage and what repairs need to be made. We start damage assessment as soon as it's safe for our teams to be in the field. We will set estimated restoration times once we have an initial assessment of damage.

East Enumclaw Substation

Project overview

To increase reliability and meet growing customer demand for power, PSE will be constructing a new substation in Enumclaw near Commerce Street, off Roosevelt Avenue. The substation will be used to transform power from 115 kV to 55/34.5 kV to improve service for the Greenwater and Crystal Mountain community. Additionally, this new substation is an important part of a larger electric reliability improvement effort which includes several electric upgrade projects between Electron and Enumclaw. We are converting the voltage of over 20 miles of transmission line between the Electron Heights and Krain Corner substations, and converting, upgrading or completely rebuilding five substations in the area. This project strengthens the electric system in the region by improving the reliability of our infrastructure and enabling us to better serve customers now and in the future.

Process and timeline

We are currently in the permitting phase for the new East Enumclaw substation. Construction to build the substation is anticipated to begin in Spring 2026. This new substation is expected to begin serving PSE customers in late 2026. We are committed to keeping the community informed of our progress and potential construction impacts throughout the duration of this project.
