March Windstorm Event

Thursday, March. 12, 2026 – 12 p.m.

We know how challenging and stressful it can be to lose power, especially with temperatures forecasted to drop.

Crews have been working hard since the storm started and have made significant progress, with power restored to more than 80% of customers impacted.

Reports from the field indicate three areas where restoration may take longer.

  • Skykomish – Crews are working on the west and east sides of the transmission line. On the east side, they have encountered significant damage that is being worked on. Damage has been identified on the west side—crews are working to assess the extent of that damage and what additional repairs will be needed.
  • Hyak – Crews are actively patrolling the transmission line for damage from both the east and the west. We have equipment, such as snowcats, that can be utilized if conditions allow. Remote terrain and heavy snow slow the pace of this work and we are monitoring for avalanche danger.
  • Greenwater – Crews are actively working in the area and will be attempting to reenergize the substation. Patrols of the distribution lines will be needed to assess additional damage, which is likely to be found.

Helicopter patrols may be needed to fully assess damage. These patrols are on hold for today and possibly into Friday due to high winds and low visibility in the mountain passes.
