One of our favorite competitions is coming back to Tacoma this year!

The Washington State Pole Top Rescue Competition returns to Tacoma on September 29-30 at the Tacoma Convention Center's Tollefson Plaza.

This annual competition brings together utility lineworkers from across Washington to demonstrate one of the most important skills in the electrical industry: safely rescuing an injured coworker from the top of a utility pole during a simulated emergency.

While teams compete for top honors, the real purpose is strengthening rescue skills, sharing best practices and reinforcing the safety culture that protects lineworkers every day.

Tacoma Power is proud to once again participate and help host this important event. We hope to see you there!

Final Update 1:15 PM: Crews have restored power to all Tacoma Power customers in the impacted area. Thanks for your patience while they worked to get your power back on.

ORIGINAL: We received a report that a branch is touching a power line and causing an outage in an area of Fircrest and University Place that was impacted by an outage on Monday. Crews are on their way now to investigate and restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

Crews restored power Monday night to this area after tracing and repairing a piece of equipment.

Follow restoration efforts at MyTPU.org/OutageMap. The outage map shows you where the power is out, crew status, estimated time of restoration, and more, and allows you to report a power outage online. You can also enroll in power outage email and/or text notifications within MyAccount.

Our crews have been working this afternoon to restore power as quickly and safely as possible to parts of Fircrest and University Place where power lines are both on poles and underground. Several crews are patrolling the remaining outage area to locate the cause. We appreciate your patience.
