We are aware of an issue with our outage map. It is not reflecting all of the customers whose power has been restored, and is not showing a set of customers who are still without power. Our internal systems for identifying outages and prioritizing restorations are still functioning. The map issue appears to stem from a technology change-over for the mapping system that was implemented this fall.

We know it is frustrating for our customers and we are working hard to reconcile the data showing on the map. We ask that you continue to report outages if needed.

Our crews will continue to work around the clock until the last customer is restored.

November Wind Storm

System-wide:
  • We’ve made significant progress restoring transmission and substations are getting back online, crews are finding extensive damage to local distribution lines that need to be repaired before power can be restored.
  • In King County crews are saying the damage is comparable to the worst storms of past decades.
