The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for locations in our service area from Monday evening to Tuesday morning, with damaging southeast winds forecasted including gusts up to 50 mph in some locations, including Maple Valley, Enumclaw, Black Diamond and North Bend.
We have been watching the forecast since late last week and preparing for stormy weather. Our Emergency Coordination Center and local storm bases are opening in advance of the incoming weather, and crews will deploy with assignments as it’s safe to do so. Additional line and tree crews from outside the area have been brought in to assist with restoration and we have been replenishing material supplies to ensure readiness.
We have temporarily turned off outage notifications via email, text and automated calls, as we work to make improvements to our outage map experience. Please continue to report outages on our map and app, as those reports are captured in our system.
