March Windstorm Event

Power outages are never convenient; we thank you for your patience as our crews work throughout the night to make repairs to our electric system. We have also brought in additional crews to help us assess damage and restore power as quickly and safely as possible. 

Below are updates and current estimated restoration times for hard-hit areas:

  • In Skykomish, crews continue to work on the electric system that feeds the town from the west. We patrolled the area by helicopter and found extensive damage on the east side of town, which still requires repair. Crews are actively working to repair damage previously discovered on the west side of town to begin to restore power.
  • In Greenwater, we have identified many areas of damage on the transmission line that serves the area. We do not yet have an estimated restoration time but crews are actively assessing the extensive damage done to the electric system as we are able.
  • In King County, we continue to assess the damage from the recent intense snowfall. We continue to find damage to the system including trees in lines, which require removal before repair work can begin. We expect most customers will have their power restored by today, March 15th at 8 p.m.

Estimated restoration times by region are available at pse.com/alerts. As crews are assigned to a repair job, the specific time for that outage will be added to the outage map.

Home weatherization assistance

Jump to:

Having a home that’s uncomfortable — too cold or too hot — and having high energy bills are usually the results of a home that’s not properly protected from the weather. For example, when your home has unsealed air leaks that allow heated air to escape, your heater has to work longer and harder to keep your home, and the people in it, comfortable. The solution to this problem is called weatherization. It’s the process of protecting your entire home so that the air you heat stays where you want it: inside your home.

The Home Weatherization Assistance program is a partnership between PSE, federal and state funding sources. It’s a way for us to connect our income-qualified customers to the local agencies that can assess your home and provide free, whole-home upgrades to help lower your monthly energy bill.

Do I qualify?

  1. Review the income guidelines below to see if you may qualify for assistance. Please note: The income guidelines are a general guide and do not confirm eligibility. Eligibility for this program is decided by your local agency and each agency has varying income requirements.

  2. Contact a local agency to confirm if your household is eligible.

  1. If your local agency determines your household is eligible, they will guide you through the application process.
