As of 11 a.m., approximately 254,000 customers are without power. Since early Wednesday, when heavy snows and ice caused extensive damage and power outages, PSE crews have restored power to more than 138,000 customers in Western Washington.

Given the magnitude of the damage caused by this week’s storms, PSE predicts many areas will remain out of power through the weekend, and some beyond. Better restoration information will be available as our crews are able to gain access to hard hit areas today. In addition, snow and ice-laden trees continue to have potential to cause new damage—and we are watching for expected strong winds tonight and into Saturday.

Approximately 50 additional crews will be in the service area by end of day Friday. More than 60 additional crews are in route from out of state with a planned arrival time of late Saturday.

Customers may report an outage by calling Puget Sound Energy at 1-888-225-5773 or by logging onto PSE.com, sending an email to customercare@pse.com or post to PSE’s Facebook page.

We appreciate our customers’ patience as we work to repair power as quickly as possible, with safety our top priority.
