Thank you for your patience. We are working to restore power to customers impacted by strong winds overnight and are out in full force. We understand the stress and disruption that power outages can cause. Our crews have been working hard since the weather rolled in, and they will continue to work until all customers are restored. 

When is my power coming back on?

In addition to restoring power, we have teams in the field focused on assessing the extent of damage and what repairs need to be made. As soon as we have estimated restoration times, they will be updated at pse.com/ouagemap. We understand how difficult it is to be without power and want to assure you that our crews will stay in the field until power is restored to every customer.

Downed power lines

Keep clear of fallen utility wires

If you come across a downed utility wire of any kind, always do the following:

  • Assume it's energized and stay as far away as you can.
    Energized lines can charge the ground near the point of contact and may electrocute you. If you come upon a downed line of any kind, stay at least 35 feet away. Do not attempt to rescue a person or pet.
  • Call 911 or the utility serving the location. For Puget Sound Energy, call 1-888-225-5773.
    Leave everything to utility professionals and emergency personnel.
  • Do not drive over downed power lines.
    Even if they're not energized, downed wires can get entangled with your vehicle and cause further damage.
  • Stay in your car.
    If a power line falls on your vehicle while you're driving, do not exit until you know for sure that the line is de-energized.
  • If you must evacuate, jump away and land with both feet together.
    Do not touch the vehicle while stepping on the ground, as this can create a path for electricity to run through you.
  • Shuffle away to safety.
    Keep your feet together and take small, shuffling steps until you're at least 35 feet away. Taking larger steps can also create a path for electricity to run through you.
