Fire Weather

Warm, dry and windy conditions are forecasted for eastern Washington, including the Kittitas Valley, over the weekend.

As part of PSE’s wildfire safe operations, we will be turning on system settings in the affected areas. These settings, which are more sensitive to potential hazards like a tree branch touching a power line, 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.

Puget Sound Energy offers free, instructor-led safety trainings, each focused on a specific topic:

  • Natural Gas Awareness
  • High Voltage Safety
  • Safe Digging Practices

Each training session is offered separately and is designed to help protect workers and first responders by promoting best practices and preventing accidents in the field.

We offer flexible training sessions that can be held either at our facility or yours, scheduled at a date and time that works for you—based on trainer availability.

Please note: Trainings are temporarily paused during storm season, as our trainers are also first responders who are actively deployed in the field to restore power and perform critical repairs.

For more details, check out our informational flyer or contact publicsafety@pse.com to learn more or schedule a session.
