Puget Sound Energy Primer and Fast Facts about Us

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.
