Most large outages follow storms: wind, ice and lightning bring down lines, and heat waves overload equipment. Check the weather warnings for Seattle when the count is rising. Some of today's outages near Seattle are planned maintenance, which utilities schedule and announce in advance.

If your power is out

Report it to your utility first, by app, text or phone; your report is what puts your street on the map. Keep fridges and freezers closed (food stays cold for about 4 hours in a fridge and 48 hours in a full freezer), unplug sensitive electronics, never run a generator indoors, and treat any downed line as live.

Coverage and limits

ODIN only includes utilities that choose to publish to it. In Washington that is 18 utilities; customers of any other utility (city-owned systems, many co-ops and some large investor-owned utilities) can be out of power without appearing here. Check your own utility's outage map to be sure.

Counts are meters or customers as reported by each utility, refreshed about every 5 minutes. Last ODIN report received 16:56 UTC.
