December Wind Storm

Damage assessment and restoration efforts begin

Damaging winds have caused outages in our service area, with major impacts in King, Pierce and Thurston counties. Our Emergency Coordination Center and local storm bases are open to support restoration efforts and crews are deploying with assignments as it’s safe to do so.

Our first step in restoring power is damage assessment: getting a look at what’s been done to the system and determining the extent of repairs that are needed. The process takes time, especially if weather remains an issue. Unsafe weather conditions and the inability to access areas due to damage caused by the storm can slow these efforts.

We have temporarily disabled outage notifications via email, text and automated calls, as we work to make improvements to our outage map experience. Please continue to report outages on our map and app, as those reports are captured in our system.
