Fire Weather Forecasted 

Due to current weather forecasts, a Red Flag Warning has been issued for Kittitas Valley. As part of PSE’s wildfire safe operations, we will be turning on system settings that are more sensitive to potential hazards. These sensitive settings will be activated Friday morning and will remain in effect as long as elevated wildfire risk conditions persist.

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 (PSPS), where we proactively turn off power in advance of severe weather.

We understand the impact unexpected outages can have on our customers, so we've added additional staffing for our first responders and our operations center. For more information or to report a power outage, visit PSE’s Outage map.

Due to numerous wildfires in eastern and central Washington, air quality across the Kittitas Valley is currently within the unhealthy range. Wildfire smoke can seriously affect health, especially for high-risk individuals. To learn more about how to protect yourself and others, please visit the Washington State Department of Health page on staying safe from smoke.

  

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.

Employees Make a Difference

PSE knows the importance of community – that’s why we encourage our employees to get involved. We do this through teamPSE activities, board and service club participation, and volunteer match contributions. In 2018, the Puget Sound Energy Foundation matched a total of $105,157.66 in giving and volunteer hours.

Members of teamPSE include PSE employees, retirees, families and friends who freely donate their time and talents in support of volunteer initiatives in our communities. Some of these activities include tutoring, building houses with Habitat for Humanity, evasive weed removal, trail restoration, sorting and repacking food for local food banks, and United Way Day of Caring events.
