Fire Weather Forecasted 

Red Flag Warnings have been issued for the western and eastern Cascade slopes for gusty winds and lightning storms. As part of PSE’s wildfire safe operations, we have turned on system settings that are more sensitive to potential hazards on targeted lines in these areas.

Enhanced Powerline Settings are designed to help keep you safe, but they may result in unplanned power outages.

This is NOT a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS), where we proactively turn off power in advance of severe weather.

We understand the impact unexpected outages can have on our customers, so we've added additional staffing for our first responders and our operations center.

For more information or to report a power outage, visit PSE’s Outage map.

Due to numerous wildfires in our region, air quality in many areas is within the unhealthy range. Wildfire smoke can seriously affect health, especially for high-risk individuals. To learn more about how to protect yourself and others, please visit the Washington State Department of Health page on staying safe from smoke.

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.

Sound Transit System Expansion Program

Program overview

Sound Transit is in the midst of building the most ambitious transit expansion in the country with their Link light rail, ST Express bus, Sounder commuter rail and Stride bus rapid transit services. These Sound Transit projects are in various phases of planning, design and construction, and will be ongoing for the next 15+ years.

In preparation for Sound Transit’s project construction, Puget Sound Energy and its contractors have been working to relocate/reroute existing electric and gas infrastructure, energize new bus, light rail and train stations, and much more.

To learn more about Sound Transit’s system expansion program, please visit soundtransit.org/system-expansion.

Committed to keeping you informed

PSE works hard to minimize impacts when it comes to critical electric and gas infrastructure, and we are committed to keeping the affected community informed as our portion of Sound Transit’s projects progress.
