Power has been restored for nearly 10,000 Auburn residents who were without power this afternoon.
At approximately 11:57 a.m., the outage was first reported, with 9,257 Auburn residents remaining without power, according to the Puget Sound Energy (PSE) outage map.
Around 12:30 p.m., the outage was reportedly resolved, and all of the more than 9,000 residents had their power restored.
The estimated time for power to be restored was previously 3 p.m., but PSE restored the power roughly two and a half hours ahead of schedule.

PSE was previously in phase one, “Outage reported,” of its four-stage plan to resolve the outage. The company resolved the outage before it updated its map with any of the next three phases, including assessing any damage, assigning a crew, and lastly updating customers when a crew is on site actively restoring power.
Outage notifications and details can be found on the PSE outage map.
