October Windstorm

We understand how difficult it is to be without power and that you need information about when your power is coming back on so you can make plans. We are working around the clock to assess damage and make repairs, and will continue to do so until power is restored to all customers.

Below are estimated restoration times for impacted areas. If you are checking the outage map on pse.com and your outage does not have a specific time for the power to be restored, it’s because our crews in the field need to complete other work before being able to restore your power. As crews are assigned to a repair job, the specific restoration time for that outage will be added to the outage map.

  • Most Kitsap and King County customers will have power restored by the end of day Monday 10/27. Outages in the North Bend area may extend into Tuesday.

  • The majority of customers in Pierce County will have power restored by the end of Tuesday 10/28. Outages in the Cascade foothills could extend into Wednesday due to the extent of damage in that area.

  • Thurston County experienced heavy damage; power will be restored to customers over the coming days, but it will take until Tuesday evening and into early Wednesday for that work to finish in places like Prairie Ridge, Victor Falls, and Ponderosa Estates.

LED is best; here's why

A light-emitting diode (LED) bulb is an energy-efficient light bulb that generates light from the movement of electrons through a semiconductor.

LED bulbs use at least 80 percent less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and can last 13-25 years longer. LED bulbs are more energy-efficient than any other type of light bulb on the market (see our comparison infographic below). LEDs are environmentally friendly, too, which means you can safely dispose of them in the trash.

And did you also know:

  • LED bulbs use at least 80 percent less energy while producing the same quality and brightness of light that customers are used to getting from old incandescent and CFL bulbs.
  • LED bulbs have dimmable options that help you use even less energy. Be sure to use dimmable bulbs in dimmable fixtures.
  • You can use an energy-efficient LED bulb as a stronger light source without exceeding a fixture's maximum-rated wattage — great for boosting brightness in less well-lit areas.
  • LED bulbs last 13-25 years longer than incandescent bulbs. Their extended lifetime means fewer stores to visit and bulbs to buy in the long run.
  • Today's LED bulbs turn on immediately and do not flicker or buzz.
