We're watching the forecast and preparing for strong winds across our service area this weekend, with gusts forecasted up to 50 mph on Saturday. We’re concerned about the combination of high winds, saturated soils, and trees that still have foliage, which could lead to power outages across our service area.

We understand how difficult it is to be without power. We are readying our teams to respond and crews will be working in the field as long as conditions are safe to do so.

If your power goes out, we'll work around the clock to restore it as quickly and safely as possible.

Visit PSE’s Alerts and Advisories page for information on our response efforts: pse.com/alerts.

   

alert 

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.

  • If you’re using portable heaters, keep them away from furniture, draperies and other flammable materials.

  • Always use flashlights instead of candles.

  • Be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning:

    • Never install or use a generator indoors or in enclosed or partially-enclosed areas, even those that are ventilated. When using your generator outdoors during a power outage, avoid placing it near windows, doors and vents. More generator safety tips: pse.com/en/pages/generator-safety  
    • Never use a natural gas range for heating, or charcoal as an indoor heating or cooking source.
    • Additional carbon monoxide safety information: pse.com/en/pages/carbon-monoxide

  • Never charge your phone or other devices in a running vehicle with the garage door closed.

  • Make sure that natural gas appliances are maintained and operated according to manufacturer recommendations.

Downtown Redmond Link Extension Project Overview

In conjunction with Sound Transit’s Downtown Redmond Link Extension light rail project—and to ensure we continue to deliver safe and reliable energy to you and your neighbors, Puget Sound Energy and its contractors have been working to underground and relocate existing above-ground electrical and natural gas infrastructure along the determined route.

2024 Project Overview

What PSE customers can expect:

  • Occasional reduced travel lanes and intermittent road closures.
  • Construction signage, temporary traffic detours and pedestrian detours along the project route.
  • Typical construction noise and heavy machinery along the route.
  • Some customers may experience a brief, planned power outage as part of this work. All impacted customers will be notified of any planned outages in advance.
