As storm recovery continues, we are aware that the outage map is not showing some customers who are still without power. Our internal systems for identifying outages and prioritizing restorations are still functioning. We are working hard to reconcile the outages shown on the map. Please continue to report outages, as needed.

We are also aware of some estimated restoration times showing as expired or incorrect on the outage map.

We have internal teams working to resolve these issues—we know it’s frustrating for customers who are trying to make plans.

We will continue to work around the clock until power is restored to all customers.

November Wind Storm

Over the last 24 hours, more than 150 line crews and 70 tree crews worked throughout the day and night to help over 17,000 customers regain power from storm related outages.

We now have 99% of our customers back online since the bomb cyclone hit Western Washington Tuesday afternoon and will continue to work as fast as we can to restore every customer. Being without power is incredibly disruptive and gets harder as time goes by.
