On Thursday, January 23, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Puget Sound Energy (PSE) will turn off power for residents located on Salish Ave SE and surrounding streets.
The pre-scheduled power outage is a precautionary measure, as PSE works on making improvements to the electric system in our community. If your power is affected on January 23, you likely received a postcard in the mail recently with this information.
PSE offers the following tips in preparing for a scheduled power outage:
- If you rely on medical equipment that needs electricity, have a plan to maintain use of it during the outage
- Charge cell phones
- Unplug computers, televisions and sensitive electronics
- Notify your home security company
- Know how to manually operate garage doors and electric gates
- Minimize opening refrigerator and freezer doors during the outage
- If you have a generator, make sure you are familiar with operating it and know how to connect and disconnect it safely
For questions and concerns, please connect with Lee Brown, the PSE project manager via phone, at (425) 417-8620, or email, at lee.brown@pse.com. Learn about planned outages by visiting PSE | Planned Power Outages.
