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.

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.
