Puget Sound Energy is Maintaining Power by Trimming Trees

March Windstorm Event

We know being without power is difficult, especially with cold temperatures, and we appreciate your patience.   Crews are out in full force working around the clock to make repairs to our electric system as weather has improved and safe access has been established in most areas. We have also brought in additional crews to help us assess damage and restore power as quickly and safely as possible. 

In Skykomish, crews continue to work on the electric system that feeds the town from the west. East of the town going up to Stevens Pass is still under high avalanche danger according to NWAC.

In Greenwater, we have identified many areas of damage on the transmission line. Crews’ progress has been hampered due to the closure of Hwy 410 and we are working to safely access the known damage for repairs.

In South King, we continue to assess the damage from intense snow fall and it is currently estimated that outages will continue to be repaired into tomorrow.

Safety first. Never touch or go within 35 feet of downed power lines because they might be energized. Call PSE at 1-888-225-5773 or 911 to report problems.
