March Windstorm Event

We appreciate our customers' continued patience and understand how frustrating outages are. Crews are working tirelessly to restore power as quickly and safely as possible, with power restored to the majority of customers impacted by Wednesday’s weather event. However, fresh, intense snowfall today is causing new outages as snow weighs down tree limbs and power lines. We will continue to respond to outages as it’s safe to do so.

Crews continue to work in the hard-hit areas of Skykomish, Greenwater and Snoqualmie Pass, which lost power again this morning after being restored late yesterday. Heavy snow in these areas is causing road closures, access challenges and challenging work conditions, which may further delay restoration efforts. Additional outages are also possible.

Be prepared

We’re committed to delivering safe, reliable power energy to our customers. Sometimes there are situations beyond our control such as storms, traffic accidents, equipment failure, and damage to power lines, and we work to restore power as quickly as possible.

We know being without power is inconvenient, and we’re committed to early alerts and quick responses. To help minimize the inconvenience of an outage, we encourage you to:
