Cabin Creek Landslide

A large landslide on Friday near Cabin Creek on Snoqualmie Pass caused significant damage to transmission lines that go through the area. Crews worked over the weekend to assess damage including flying drones. Access is limited and assessments are ongoing as to whether crews can safely work in the area.

While the landslide caused damage to PSE’s high voltage lines, there are no customers currently out of power as a result of this incident. Customers in the Hyak and Easton areas are being supplied power through the redundant high voltage lines, which currently have no alternative circuit configurations from the east

With more rain and wind forecasted this week, there is a concern of prolonged power outages if the active high voltage lines are impacted.

Watch pse.com/alerts for information in the event of an outage and follow the safety tips on that page if the power goes out.


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.

Wireless Collocation

Puget Sound Energy’s service territory includes thousands of potential candidates for wireless collocation, including transmission and distribution power poles, street lights and numerous PSE-owned buildings and properties located throughout the Puget Sound Region. Because we are the sole owner of our pole assets and our properties typically have existing access to distribution power and telecommunications facilities, PSE is a perfect partner for the rapid deployment of new cell sites.

To date, our team has worked with every major wireless carrier to install cell sites throughout our territory.


Application Requirements

For joint use attachments to PSE owned facilities, all application submittals and project communication is conducted through the National Joint Utilities Notification System (NJUNS). New site applications are required to include a Non-Residential Electric Service Application as part of the NJUNS submittal process.
