We’re monitoring a series of weather systems expected to bring gusty winds and stormy conditions to the region. We expect stormy weather conditions to persist for the next few weeks. With many trees still holding vegetation, these conditions may result in power outages.

We understand how difficult it is to be without power. Our teams are prepared, with additional staffing and crews ready to respond throughout the weekend, and crews will remain in the field to assess damage and restore power as long as it is safe. If your power goes out, we’ll work around the clock to restore it as quickly and safely as possible.

As we prepare for storm conditions, we encourage our customers to do the same:

  • Make sure to have emergency supplies at home and in your vehicle, such as extra batteries, flashlights, food and blankets.
  • Have a battery-powered radio ready to go.
  • Charge cell phones and mobile devices in case the power goes out.
  • Download the PSE mobile outage app to track and report outages or visit pse.com/outagemap.
  • Find more preparedness tips at pse.com/storm.

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.

Buckley Substation

Project updates

The new Buckley substation is now energized and began serving PSE customers in December 2025. The old Buckley substation on N. 3rd St is expected to be demolished in 2027.

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 on N 3rd St. 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.
