Outage Update – Jan 13, 2021 – 1630
At this time there is no estimated restoration from Puget Sound Energy. We anticipate that this outage may run into tomorrow, and in order to conserve operational ability and prevent possible damage to equipment, we are planning to shutdown our power generators at 10:30pm. This will shutdown our equipment until power resumes, or until 7 am tomorrow morning when we will restart the generator.
Thank you for your patience as we eagerly await the return of our full system operation.
