Fire Weather Forecasted

Due to current weather forecasts, a Red Flag Warning has been issued for the Kittitas Valley. 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.

alert 

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.

Wireline Attachments

As an owner of more than 350,000 utility poles in the Puget Sound area, PSE has extensive infrastructure capable of meeting a wide variety of needs for the communities we serve. In order to avoid duplication of effort and cost, Joint Use of utility poles for wireline attachments has been a common practice for the past few decades allowing for multiple companies to provide service off shared poles.

Throughout the PSE service territory we are experiencing dramatic increases in Joint Use applications. The push to enable next generation technologies will continue to necessitate an efficient, customer focused, and precise method of processing applications and supporting our partner’s network goals.


Application Requirements

For joint use attachments to PSE owned facilities, all application submittals and project communication are conducted through the National Joint Utilities Notification System (NJUNS). Here's what you'll need to apply for joint use with PSE.
