Power outage in Seattle
Checking reports from the last hour…
Live counts on this page cover the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro area and the utilities listed below, not WA as a whole. Your area is worked out from your connection rather than your device, so there is no permission prompt and nothing to allow. Your postal code is used to place you in a metro and is then discarded; it is never stored.

Who supplies power in Seattle
2 electric utilities file service territory in King County, WA, the most populous county of the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro area. Which one you have depends on your address.

Service territory from EIA Form 861, 2024 annual filing, matched to the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro area through Missouri Census Data Center, Geocorr 2022. A utility appears here only if it files service territory in King County, WA, the metro's most populous county. This is not a complete list of everyone who supplies power in the metro: smaller municipal and cooperative utilities operate here too, and the EIA records territory county by county rather than street by street.
Report a power outage in Seattle
One tap. No account, no email, and we do not store your exact location.
Is it your home, or is it the area?
- Your lights are out but the street lights are on
- The fault is probably on your own service drop or in your panel. Still worth calling your utility, but it will not show up as an area outage.
- Half your home works and half does not
- That is one leg of a split-phase service, or a tripped breaker. An area outage takes both legs at once.
- Power is flickering rather than off
- Repeated flickers usually mean a recloser upstream is trying to clear a fault. Report it: the flickers often come before the outage.
- Your whole block is dark
- Report it here and to your utility. This page tells you how widespread it is; only your utility can restore it.
