We're watching the forecast for strong winds this weekend. We know how difficult it is to be without power. As we make preparations, we encourage you to do so too. Visit pse.com/storm for preparedness tips.

Crews will respond to power outages 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. 

   

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.

  • 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.

Federal Way Link Extension Project Overview

In conjunction with Sound Transit’s Federal Way 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 our contractors have been working to underground and relocate existing above-ground electrical and natural gas infrastructure along the light-rail 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.
