Report a Power Outage

Report a power outage in Snohomish County, WA even if neighboring homes have already reported it. Your report helps connect the affected service location with the correct incident.

1. Open the official outage map and choose Report an Outage.
2. Search for the address where the electricity is off. The map may place a pin at that location and provide a reporting option.
3. Confirm the requested location and contact information.
4. Submit the report and choose outage text alerts if that option appears.

To report by phone, use the verified outage contact displayed above this article. The automated system may request the service address, account number, account holder’s name, or a telephone number associated with the account. Have a recent statement available if it is safe and easy to reach, but do not delay reporting an electrical hazard while looking for account details.

What to Do If Your Outage Is Not Listed

A new outage may not appear immediately while the utility gathers and verifies reports. First, look outside from a safe place. Check whether nearby streetlights or buildings have power, without leaving your property to investigate wires or equipment.

If nearby service appears normal, check whether the problem is limited to your property. Use a flashlight and inspect the electrical panel only if the panel and surrounding floor are dry, there is no smoke or burning smell, and you can reach it safely. Look for a breaker that has moved to the tripped position. Reset it once according to the panel instructions. Never remove a panel cover or touch exposed wiring.

If the breaker trips again, leave it off and contact a qualified electrician. If the breakers appear normal and the entire property remains without power, submit a new utility report. The power outage map for Snohomish County, WA may update after the report is verified.

Get Restoration Updates

After reporting the outage online or through the self-service phone system, opt in to text alerts when offered. These alerts can provide repair-status changes and an estimated restoration time for the reported incident.

Customers who have an online utility profile can also review the Alerts section and set notification preferences. Otherwise, return to {site}, open the map, search for the service address, and select the incident area. During major events, regional notices may appear on the map in addition to details for individual incidents.

Treat every estimate as a working estimate, not a promise. It may move earlier or later after crews reach the site, inspect damage, obtain access, or identify additional repairs. The Snohomish County power outage status shown on the map is the best official snapshot available at that moment.

Report Downed Power Lines and Electrical Hazards

Assume every fallen or hanging wire is energized. Stay at least thirty feet away, keep children and pets back, and do not touch the wire or anything contacting it. Electricity can travel through fences, wet ground, tree limbs, vehicles, and tools.

Report the exact location through the verified utility outage contact shown above. Describe nearby landmarks and whether the line is sparking, blocking a road, touching a structure, or resting on a vehicle. For fire, injury, or another immediate threat to life, contact emergency services.

Do not approach electrical equipment that is sparking, smoking, buzzing, or damaged. Do not drive over a fallen line. If a wire lands on an occupied vehicle, occupants should generally remain inside and call emergency services unless fire creates an immediate need to escape.

Prepare While the Power Is Out

• Use battery-powered flashlights instead of candles. Keep lights away from bedding and other material that can burn.
• Run portable generators outdoors, far from doors, windows, and vents. Never operate one in a home, garage, basement, or other enclosed space. Use it only as directed, and never connect it directly to household wiring without approved transfer equipment.
• Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed. A closed refrigerator generally keeps food cold for about four hours. A full, unopened freezer may hold a safe temperature for about two days, while a half-full freezer may do so for about one day. When uncertain, follow official food-safety guidance and discard food that may be unsafe.
• If someone depends on powered medical equipment, use the established backup-power or relocation plan. Contact emergency services if loss of power creates an immediate medical danger.
• Conserve phone battery by lowering screen brightness, closing unused apps, and limiting video or repeated map refreshes. Keep one phone available for alerts and emergency calls.

Continue checking the official Snohomish County outage map for confirmed changes. Do not enter restricted work areas or approach crews for an individual estimate.
