Puget Sound Energy Work on Sound Transit Public Improvements

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.

Project updates

Project overview

Sound Transit is in the midst of building the most ambitious transit expansion in the country with their Link light rail, ST Express bus, Sounder commuter rail and Stride bus rapid transit services. These Sound Transit projects are in various phases of planning, design and construction, and will be ongoing for the next 15+ years.

In preparation for Sound Transit’s project construction, Puget Sound Energy and its contractors have been working to relocate/reroute existing electric and gas infrastructure, energize new bus, light rail and train stations, and much more.
