Storm Alert Updated Dec 16, 6:00 AM

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.

Visit PSE’s Alerts and Advisories page for information on our response efforts: pse.com/alerts.

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.
