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.

Golden Given gas pipeline and limit station

Project overview

Natural gas crews from PSE and Michaels Corporation constructed a new limit station on 99th St E and installed a new section of natural gas pipeline along Golden Given Rd E in Tacoma.

This completed project benefits the region by enabling PSE to meet customers’ increasing demand for natural gas. It consisted of three installations:

  • A new limit station at 964 99th St E that reduces the gas pressure as it moves between systems.
  • A new high pressure (HP) gas pipeline along Golden Given Rd E, between 112th St E and 96th St E. This includes a short section along 99th St E that leads to the new limit station.
  • A new intermediate pressure (IP) gas pipeline along the same section of Golden Given Rd E.

At PSE, we know our customers, employees, and the communities we serve expect to live and work around a safe and reliable natural gas system. When improving and operating our system, we follow or exceed strict federal and state safety requirements related to pipeline safety. Check Gas Safety Tips for more information on natural gas safety.
