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.

Puget Sound Energy offers free, instructor-led safety trainings, each focused on a specific topic:

  • Natural Gas Awareness
  • High Voltage Safety
  • Safe Digging Practices

Each training session is offered separately and is designed to help protect workers and first responders by promoting best practices and preventing accidents in the field.

We offer flexible training sessions that can be held either at our facility or yours, scheduled at a date and time that works for you—based on trainer availability.

Please note: Trainings are temporarily paused during storm season, as our trainers are also first responders who are actively deployed in the field to restore power and perform critical repairs.

For more details, check out our informational flyer or contact publicsafety@pse.com to learn more or schedule a session.
