Trees are a major cause of power outages. We regularly prune trees to help maintain safe and reliable electric service. Over the next few weeks, PSE and ASPLUNDH tree crews will be in your area trimming limbs that have grown too close to power lines. Traffic may slow down while we’re working, but we’ll do our best to be quick and efficient.
Our certified arborist can answer any questions or concerns you might have about trees near power lines during our time in your neighborhood.
