How do I check the power outage status in Kent, WA?

Does this page show Kent specifically, or the whole county?
Both, and for Kent we have the city-level view: Puget Sound Energy has published outages for Kent under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-08-21. When Kent is affected, you get its own customers-out count and restoration time, with the King County county-wide total shown separately as context. Don't add the two together — the county figure already includes Kent.
