Fire Weather Forecasted

Due to current weather forecasts, a Red Flag Warning has been issued for the lower Kittitas Valley and Lower Columbia Basin. As part of PSE’s wildfire safe operations, we are turning on system settings that are more sensitive to potential hazards. These settings will stay in place as long as high wildfire risk conditions are present.

Enhanced Powerline Settings are designed to help keep you safe, but they may result in unplanned power outages. This is not a Public Safety Power Shutoff, where we proactively turn off power in advance of severe weather.

For more information or to report a power outage, visit PSE’s Outage map.

Safety first. Never touch or go within 35 feet of downed power lines because they might be energized. Call PSE at 1-888-225-5773 or 911 to report problems.

Issaquah area reliability and capacity improvements

Project overview

PSE recently completed an electric reliability and capacity study of the Issaquah area. Issaquah has seen a boom in population and is moving towards higher density development. This means more people are using more energy, all of which requires additional energy capacity to serve. By improving capacity in the Issaquah area, and installing supporting infrastructure, PSE will be able to continue to provide safe, reliable power into the future.

This work is in the early stages and you may see PSE staff and our contractors in the area conducting fieldwork. This can include things like soil testing, surveying existing infrastructure, and managing vegetation.

We’re beginning the process of project design and preliminary permitting. We will continue updating the community as the project design progresses.
