We have been using the Bionaire Console electric heaters this winter. If we weren't moving I would look into having a pellet stove installed, several friends have them and they love them, and their homes are always warm. They have a small fan that blows the heat out and they use very little electricity, I do believe their pellets come from your state in Washington. We have forced air heat but the propane is outragously high in cost that we just refuse to use it unless we have to. Our home is very well insulated so the electric heaters cycle less often.
Are you close to where you could get couple electric heaters. I think we paid close to $50.00 for each one from Costco. I do believe they also have them online through Costco. We are very careful in using ours and only place them on the area that has the tile floor, also we are home all the time and I have to tell you though we wouldn't leave one on if we were gone, but that is us.
We tell the girls HOT, HOT at the same time there out of their reach.

I'm sorry to hear you are having such storms as well. I have not been out of my house in 4 days. I have a small space heater that I don't trust to be left unattended. It will do until an portable oil filled radiator arrives on Tuesday. I'm hoping that will get me through the rest of the winter. It is very safe, designed for 24 x 7 use. I want to be able to take my time and think about the best option, and not rush into something just because its so cold.
