It appears that Washington has designated utility work as essential during this coronavirus outbreak. You can read the full breakdown in this proclamation from Governor Inslee's office, which identifies utility work as essential in a few different sections.
Of course, keep in mind that things can change rapidly. That means it's a good idea to keep an eye on local news outlets and to be on the lookout for announcements from your local and state governments, as well as the federal government.
