Fire Weather Forecasted

Hot, dry and windy conditions are forecast for the Kittitas Valley. As part of PSE’s wildfire safe operations, we turned on system settings that are more sensitive to potential hazards.

Enhanced Powerline Settings are designed to help keep you safe, but they can result in unplanned power outages.

This is not a Public Safety Power Shutoff, where we proactively turn off power in advance of severe weather. 

For more information or to report a power outage, visit PSE’s Outage map.
