We know how disruptive it is to be without power and that you need to know when your power is coming back on so you can make plans.

Damage assessment along with ongoing restoration has been the priority today. As of 3:30 p.m., power has been restored to more than 61% of customers impacted by last night’s storm.

We understand it has been a long day for those customers who remain without power.

Most customers in King County will be restored by Thursday morning, with the exception of customers in Duvall and Skykomish. Those areas have access issues that complicate restoration efforts—some of these customers are experiencing extended outages as flooding and other conditions continue to prevent crews from working safely.

In Thurston and Pierce Counties, we have made steady progress and currently have six transmission segments out, down from nine this morning. Four substations in Pierce County are offline and 57,285 customers remain without power. Many customers will have power restored tonight; however, it will be longer until we can restore power to all customers. We will work overnight to provide an estimated time of restoration to those customers.
