Planned Power Outage to Affect Some North Bend Residents on January 23

Snoqualmie, WALocal News

Puget Sound Energy (PSE) is set to implement a scheduled power outage on January 23, 2025, affecting residents on Salish Ave SE and surrounding streets from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. This precautionary measure aims to facilitate improvements to the local electric system, ensuring better service reliability for the community.

Residents likely received a postcard with details about the outage, urging them to prepare adequately. PSE advises that those relying on medical equipment should have a contingency plan, while all residents should charge their cell phones and unplug sensitive electronics. Additionally, it is recommended to notify home security companies and familiarize oneself with manual operations for garage doors and electric gates. To minimize food spoilage, residents should limit refrigerator and freezer door openings during the outage. For further inquiries, Lee Brown, the project manager at PSE, is available via phone or email.

More details about planned outages can be accessed through PSE's official website.
