Atmospheric river event

Our service area is now being hit by rain and stronger winds from this second major storm in just over a week. The additional rainfall is worsening already saturated and unstable soil conditions from recent flooding, leading to power outages that are expected to continue as this weather system moves through the region today.

We are particularly concerned about unstable ground conditions and the potential for landslides. Crews are standing by and closely monitoring the situation. We are ready to respond when conditions allow safe access to damaged equipment. Response teams have been mobilized in advance, and additional crews from outside our region are deployed and prepared to work around the clock once it's safe to do so.

We understand the stress and disruption that power outages can cause. We know you are counting on us—we will restore your power as quickly as we can. 

Above all, safety comes first - please take extra precautions and stay safe out there!

Sammamish - Juanita 115 kV transmission line

Project overview

The Sammamish – Juanita transmission line, completed and energized in December 2023, was a critical upgrade required to increase system capacity and reliability for more than 61,000 customers in Redmond and Kirkland.

This project added just over five miles of new and upgraded 115 kV transmission line, upgraded aging substation equipment and looped the Totem Substation so it is now connected to two transmission lines. If one line goes out, the other line will still feed the substation and provide power to customers.

This project ensured that PSE can continue to supply customers in Redmond and Kirkland with dependable power for years to come.
