EVERETT—The Snohomish County PUD invites community members to attend one of two open houses on May 7, 2025, at PUD Headquarters, 2320 California Street, Everett, Washington to learn about the plan for constructing the new Everett to Delta Transmission Line.
Open houses will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m. and 6 to 7:30 p.m. Each will be identical in format and content. Attendees will learn about the chosen route and construction timeline and can share suggestions to mitigate potential construction impacts. Translation services will be available.
The Everett to Delta Line will provide the following benefits to PUD customers:
- Support at least one new substation in the Everett area that will serve the growth envisioned by the City of Everett’s 2044 Comprehensive Plan
- Reduce power outages and shortens restoration time during significant weather events
- Help the PUD meet federal planning and reliability standards
- Deliver more electricity from the south to the north, easing strain on the current system during peak hours
Construction will begin in spring of 2027 and take approximately six months to complete. The PUD is considering a variety of options to lower the impact on local business and residents, including working around customers business hours, minimizing multiple lane closures and impacts to customers driveways, and providing early notice and coordination with directly impacted customers.
“The Everett to Delta line is crucial infrastructure that will strengthen our grid and help ensure that we can continue to provide reliable power to customers in Everett and northern portions of Snohomish County,” said PUD CEO/GM John Haarlow. “We know that this type of work can create impacts during construction. We encourage businesses and residents to attend the meeting on May 7 to share concerns and suggestions so that we can help make this project as minimally impactful as possible.”
