October Windstorm

We understand the stress and disruption that power outages can cause and we appreciate your patience as we work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

Crews have made excellent progress, and we expect the majority of customers to have power restored overnight. There will be some customers, mostly in Pierce and Thurston Counties, where it will take longer to restore power. Areas of focus in Thurston County include Boston Harbor, Pattison and Black Lake, downtown and southeast Lacey. In Pierce County, crews are patrolling lines serving Carbonado and Wilkeson, removing downed trees and restoring power. Crews are also working in the Rhodes Lake area, where damage is still considerable.

The outages that are likely to remain into tomorrow will affect smaller, more localized, groups of customers. These take time to repair as crews go from site to site to make repairs and restore power. Crews will continue to work around the clock until power is restored to all customers.

We are also watching the weather forecast and the potential for strong winds tonight in East King and Pierce counties. High winds could increase the number of outages or might delay current restoration efforts if conditions are not safe for our crews to continue to work for a period of time.
