Severe flooding in our service area continues to create challenges for power restoration. Flooded roads, landslides, and unstable ground conditions are limiting safe access to damaged equipment for our repair crews. Our natural gas infrastructure may also be affected.

We have temporarily removed Estimated Time of Restoration information from our outage map for affected areas until we can safely assess damage and begin repairs. When our crews gain access and can start assessing damage, they will provide information to be reflected on the outage map as to when to expect restored service. As weather allows, we are using drones and helicopters to patrol unreachable areas by air.

While weather conditions are currently calm, another round of rain and wind is expected on Monday, which may impact our crews' ability to continue restoration work safely as well as result in more outages. We are closely monitoring the situation and will adjust our response as needed. We will have crews ready to respond as any new outages occur.

We appreciate your patience during this time. The safety of our crews and customers is our top priority, and we are committed to restoring power as quickly and safely as possible. We will continue providing updates as our restoration efforts progress.

Buckley Substation

Project updates

The new Buckley Substation will begin serving PSE customers by the end of 2025. In the meantime, there will continue to be intermittent activity at the substation site as crews work to get the substation online.

Project overview

To increase reliability and meet growing customer demand for power, PSE is building a new substation in Buckley off 112th St E and demolishing the old substation. This work will ensure continued, reliable electrical service to PSE customers, and will enable future operational and maintenance flexibility for PSE crews. This project is part of the larger electric reliability improvement effort which includes several electric upgrade projects from Krain Corner through Electron Heights. The new Buckley substation will increase the capacity and reliability for nearly 5,000 customers in the Buckley and Enumclaw areas.

It's our goal to minimize construction impacts as much as possible. Our construction methodology was chosen to minimize impacts to the natural habitat and nearby wetlands, as well as to the corridor itself. After each stage of construction is complete, we will progressively restore the site back to its original condition.
