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.
Last night’s heavy rain and strong winds caused widespread power outages across our service area, with Island, Pierce, Skagit and Thurston counties hardest hit. Early morning reports from field crews are of a significant amount of damage, including wires down and whole trees that have uprooted. We currently have 18 substations and 31 transmission lines offline.
Weather conditions are expected to improve today, and our response teams will be out in full force to assess damage and begin repairs as it is safe to do so. We’ve brought in additional crews from outside our region and are working around the clock to restore service as quickly and safely as possible.
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.
