Why Backup Generators are popular in the greater-seattle area
- Storm-Driven Outages: Puget Sound faces powerful windstorms and bomb cyclones from time to time. For example, In November 2024 a storm cut power to over 600,000+ customers. Some neighborhoods lost electricity for over a week.
- Tree Density: Half of unplanned outages in Seattle are caused by trees or branches falling on power lines. With the dense evergreen we have, communities such as Kent and Bellevue remain especially vulnerable to tree-related blackouts.
- Yearly Interruptions: Even in calm years, most homes experience 1–2 outages each year. PSE customers average 2–3 hours without power per year.
- Prolonged Blackouts: Severe weather can overwhelm the power grid. In 2006, a windstorm left 1.5 million Washington residents without power, some for over 10 days. In 2021, outages in King County lasted nearly three times longer than the year before due to heavy storms.
- Critical Power Needs: With more families working from home, relying on medical devices, and needing heating during freezing winters, a generator ensures uninterrupted power for essentials—from home offices and internet connectivity to refrigerators and life-supporting equipment.
