Heavy rain, isolated thunderstorms and strong wind gusts are expected from today into Tuesday, with the highest risk early Tuesday morning through Tuesday afternoon. These conditions may cause power outages.

Many trees are fully flushed with leaves. In stiff and gusty winds, that means they can topple more easily and damage power equipment, and branches can take flight and hit power lines.

Our crews are preparing and ready to respond as conditions allow. If outages occur, it can take at least 24 hours after the weather has passed to provide an initial estimated restoration time. Our first step is damage assessment—understanding the extent of damage and what repairs need to be made—once it is safe to do so.


alert 

Safety first:

  • Never touch or go within 35 feet of downed power lines because they might be energized.
  • Call PSE at 1-888-225-5773 or 911 to report problems.
  • If you’re using portable heaters, keep them away from furniture, draperies and other flammable materials.
  • Always use flashlights instead of candles.
  • Be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning: Never install or use a generator indoors or in enclosed or partially enclosed areas, even those that are ventilated.

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.
