Atmospheric river event

We are prepared for another stormy night. Heavy rain and strong winds started this afternoon and are forecasted into the morning on Wednesday, along with colder temperatures. We’re seeing increased power outages around our service area due to the combination of rain, wind, and saturated and unstable soil.

We understand how hard it is to be without power and that you are depending on us. We encourage our customers to take steps now to be without power.

Today, crews made steady progress restoring power from the previous two storms. We have staged crews throughout our service area and brought in additional crews from outside the area to support restoration efforts. Access to some areas has been difficult; we'll continue working to restore power as long as conditions are safe.

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.
