If your neighborhood hasn’t seen its power restored yet, Puget Sound Energy has a worst-case estimate and you may not be happy with it.
With tens of thousands customers out of service not only in Whatcom County but throughout Puget Sound, PSE resources are spread thin as a result of the rare August windstorm that hit yesterday, August 29th. Debris and fallen trees in the way only make the job tougher. With that in mind, here is the latest from Puget Sound Energy,
We’re estimating power will be restored to all customers on or before the following times. We expect most customers to have power restored sooner. Customers in isolated areas or areas with heavy damage will have power restored closer to the estimated time listed below.
