Atmospheric river event
The third severe weather event in just over a week is now impacting our service area. The heavy rain and strong winds that moved in early this morning have intensified already saturated soil conditions, causing trees to fall and creating widespread power outages.
Damage is scattered throughout our service area, with Island, Pierce, Skagit, and Thurston counties experiencing the most significant impacts.
We know how challenging and stressful it can be to lose heat and power, especially when you are already dealing with the impacts of severe weather. As weather conditions continue this morning, our response teams will begin assessing damage as it is safe to do so. We’ve brought in additional crews from outside our region and working around the clock to restore service as quickly and safely as possible.
Above all, safety comes first — please take extra precautions and stay safe out there!
