Which utilities cover Tacoma?
The utility serving central Tacoma does not publish to ODIN. Puget Sound Energy Inc (8 km away), City Of Seattle - (Wa) (25 km away), PUD No 3 Of Mason County (29 km away) do, so outages in parts of the metro area show here but not in the city itself.
If your power is out and it is not listed, report it to your utility: utilities often show an outage on their own map minutes before it reaches ODIN, and small outages may never be published.

- City Of Seattle - (Wa) 25 km away, 493,662 customers, website
- PUD No 3 Of Mason County 29 km away, 35,525 customers
Storms, heat and planned work
Most large outages follow storms: wind, ice and lightning bring down lines, and heat waves overload equipment. Check the weather warnings for Tacoma when the count is rising.
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 20 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 01:39 UTC.
