Fire Weather Forecasted 

Due to current weather forecasts for strong thunderstorms followed by localized high winds and low humidities, we will be turning on Enhanced Powerline Settings (EPS)  starting Wednesday night. Impacted areas include the Cascade Crest, Western Cascade foothills and Kittitas County.

We’ve also added additional staffing for our first responders and our operations center.

These settings are designed to keep you safe but may result in unplanned power outages.

Sammamish - Juanita 115 kV transmission line

Project overview

The Sammamish – Juanita transmission line, completed and energized in December 2023, was a critical upgrade required to increase system capacity and reliability for more than 61,000 customers in Redmond and Kirkland.

This project added just over five miles of new and upgraded 115 kV transmission line, upgraded aging substation equipment and looped the Totem Substation so it is now connected to two transmission lines. If one line goes out, the other line will still feed the substation and provide power to customers.

This project ensured that PSE can continue to supply customers in Redmond and Kirkland with dependable power for years to come.
