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.

Puget Sound Energy natural gas projects

Green Lake and Wallingford-area natural gas main replacement projects

Project updates

Project overview

In order to deliver safe and reliable energy to our Seattle customers, PSE recently upgraded the natural gas system in Wallingford and Green Lake. The work involved replacing the existing natural gas main, installed in 1979, with new, corrosion-resistant plastic pipe.


Wallingford-area natural gas upgrade project

  • Gas work: Gas main installation along the entire route is now complete.
  • Road and sidewalk restoration:
    • Our contractor crews from AA Asphalting, Inc. have completed temporary restoration along the project route.
    • Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) will be completing final road restoration activities on North 50th Street as part of their Green Lake and Wallingford Paving and Multi-Modal Improvements Project.
    • AA Asphalting, Inc. will complete final road restoration as part of PSE’s natural gas work, on all other portions of the project route. We expect PSE’s final road restoration will begin in spring of 2020 and continue into summer.
  • Refer to the map for detailed information and a project timeline.

Green Lake-area natural gas upgrade project

  • Gas work:
    • Gas main installation along the entire route is now complete.
  • Road and sidewalk restoration:
    • Our crews are actively working on road restoration in the area. Please see the map for more details on restoration status and approximate scheduling.

Road Restoration schedule

  • Standard work hours are Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., although some night / weekend work may be needed.
  • The restoration schedule is dependent upon weather, permitting and crew availability.
  • We will continue to keep the local community updated as the projects continue.
  • Reach out to us at majorprojects@pse.com and we’ll email you periodic construction updates.

Other projects in the area

We’ve been working proactively with the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) in planning the timing of our construction to begin shortly ahead of SDOT’s Green Lake and Wallingford Paving and Multi-Modal Improvements project.

This joint coordination is an effort to minimize impacts to the local community, while maximizing cost savings and avoiding rework by completing PSE’s work under the road prior to SDOT repaving the street. Learn more about SDOT’s project here: www.seattle.gov/transportation/greenlakepaving.htm

The Washington State Department of Transport (WSDOT) also has road improvement work in the general vicinity. Learn more about their work here: wsdot.wa.gov/projects/index/highway/sr-99
