It began generating electricity on March 22, 1886. During the next ten years as many as 30 small electric companies operated within Seattle, but most were lost to financial insolvency and merger by 1899. During this same period the Stone & Webster Service Corporation was formed and began to provide management for small utilities nationwide. In 1899 Stone & Webster was engaged to study the competitive situation in Seattle. The result was a consolidation in 1900 which placed most of the power, light and railway -services in Seattle under the management of the newly organized Seattle Electric Company and thus established the city's first unified electric system. The increasing electrical demands of the following decade necessi- tated further mergers among the more than 50 separate utilities in the Puget Sound region, from which emerged five major operating companies. On July 8, 1912 Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power came into existence and was incorporated in the State of Massachusetts, under the management of Stone & Webster. The properties purchased and consolidated to form Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power included those of the five major power compa-, nies in the region: The Seattle Electric Company, Seattle-Tacoma Power Company, Pacific Coast Power Company, Puget Sound Power Company, and Whatcom County Railroad & Light Company. The connection of these separate facilities and territories was the beginning of the first r_egional power service in Western Washington. Jacob Furth, Seattle banker, railway organizer and president of Seattle Electric Company served as president of the company until his death in 1914. 2 He was succeeded by A. W. Leonard, who directed the company until 1931, when it became a subsidiary of Engineers Public Service Company. From 1931 until 1959 PSP&L was led by Frank McLaughlin. The company's name was changed to Puget Sound Power & Light in 1920 following the sale of the Seattle street railway system to the City. During the decade of the 1920's the company acquired additional power companies and expanded to serve 19 counties. Two major companies acquired in 1924 were the North Coast Power Company in southwest Washington and Washington Coast Utilities in central and western Washington. In the 18 years following its incorporation, PSP&L absorbed 128 separate companies. Puget also expanded its rail service during the early 1920's. A stage line was developed, which by 1924 furnished most of the interurban railway service in the Puget Sound region. The company also operated the street railway sys.terns in Bellingham, Everett, Tacoma, Olympia, Chehalis, Centralia and Vancouver, Washington. With the demise of electric transportation, however, Puget decided to concentrate on the sale of electricity and in 1947 sold its subsidiary, North. Coast Transportation Company, to the Greyhound Corporation. The 1930's marked the turning point in the company's expansion. In 1930 the State Legislature passed a Public Utility District law which granted PUD's the power to condemn privately owned electric property. For the next 20 years PSP&L was continually involved in litigation with PUD's and was forced to sell much of its distribution system. The first effective condem- nation suit was that of Clallam County in 1944. In 1948 the company sold properties in Cowlitz, Mason, Chelan, Grant, Douglas, Lewis, Pacific and Grays Harbor Counties. Its large territory in Snohomish County was sold in 1949, and in 1951 its Seattle properties were sold to City Light. In the early 1950 1 s Puget considered a plan to sell its remaining properties to the 3 combined PUD's and in 1953 resisted a merger with Washington Water Power Company. The 1940's produced additional legal setbacks for PSP&L. In 1940 Federal Power Connnission hearings investigated the political expenditures of five power companies, including PSP&L. The hearings determined that the utilities, during the period 1935-40, had spent large sums of money to further their political interests and influence public opinion while charging some of these expenses to operating costs. The 1935 Public Utility Holding Act forced the breakup of large utility holding companies such as Engineers Public Service Company. PSP&L was forced to reorganize and recapitalize and in 1943 severed its connection with Engineers Public Service Company. In 1960 Puget reincorporated in Washington State.

At that time University archivists with the assistance of C.B. Schoeggl, former Secretary of the Company, screened out numerous financial records before the remaining records were moved to Seattle. At about the same time Western Washington University, Center for Pacific Northwest Studies, acquired from PSP&L records of predecessor companies involved primarily in interurban and street railways. A few of these firms also handled light and power operations. An inventory to these PSP&L records at WWU is available in the UW Manuscripts Section. Notes on Arrangement The main body of the accession are the records of Puget Sound Power & Light from 1920-1953. Records of Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power, 1912- 1920, have been separated and treated as a subgroup and Seattle Electric Company has been sub grouped as a predeces:sor company. Because the records of these three companies were originally interfiled, they are organized similarly. For instance, in each of the three there is a series, GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE, re plant (or operations), which includes correspondence with suppliers, associations, unions·, insurers and others,. about operations~ INTEROFFICE CORRESPONDENCE for PSP&L AND PSTLP included correspondence with , Dn e. s erie.s)' II•/ T& R.

Central, Northern, Northeastern, Eastern, Southern and Southwestern, respectively, although the offices remained in the same cities, These s.ame divisions are represented in REPORTS. 5 Most original foldering and folder headings have been retained. Likewise, subject series used by PSP&L have been retained; most include correspondence, In addition, one large SUBJECT SERIES, Condemnation Cases (boxes 51-83), has been expanded to include not only individual condemnation cases brought against Puget by th.e PUD's but related series as well. The FPC hearings of 1940 investigated not only PSP&L's political expenditures but also its expenses in contesting the Whatcom County PUD condemnation suit, These hearings, therefore, were included in the SUBJECT SERIES Condemnation Cases, Also included are records relating to the proceedings of the Securities & Exchange Connnission in 1941-43 in regard to Puget's recapitalization plans. Although thes.e proceedings were not strictly related to the local condemnation cases, they were grouped together because both dealt with divestitute of PSP&L operating companies and assets. Another large SUBJECT SERIES, Sale of Seattle Metropolitan Area, (boxes 91-100) concerns the negotiations between Puget and City Light which culminated in the sale of Puget's Seattle properties to City Light in 1951. The Subgroups - PREDECESSOR COMPANIES include records of four of the five companies which merged July 8, 1912 to form PSTLP: Seattle Electric, Seattle-Tacoma Power, Pacific Coast Power, and Puget Sound Power. Included also is a Stone & Webster subgroup, Columbia Improvement Company. The engineering section of Stone & Webster worked through Columbia Improvement Company on hydro construction in the Puyallup and Tacoma area.

In addition the Central Area‟s development was not part of a unified real state scheme with coordinated public improvements (such as the Mount Baker community). For these reasons, it has never had official boundaries and various writers describe its extent in various ways. Almost all attempts to describe the neighborhood include a core area bounded by Madison Street on the north, Jackson Street on the south, 15th Avenue on the west, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Way (formerly Empire Way) on the east. In 1975, Nyberg and Steinbrueck identified the eastern boundary of the Central Area as 30th Avenue (more or less), and also included extensions to the north and south of the core area. The extension to the south of Jackson Street was bounded by 30th Avenue (approximately) on the east, Interstate 90 on the south, and the mid-block alley just east of Rainier Avenue South on the west. The extension to the north of Madison Street was bounded on the west by 23rd Avenue, on the east by the Washington Park Arboretum, and extended north to a line just north of East Helen Street marking the boundary between the plats known as the Madison Park Addition and the Hazelwood Addition Supplemental.1 Walt Crowley describes the neighborhood as a “sprawling residential district .

  • Baker River Hydroelectric Project FERC No
    Baker River Hydroelectric Project FERC No. 2150 PDEA Initial Review Comments 1/16/04 The documents available to the general public, apparently Volume I, Part 1 of 2, and Volume II, Part 1 of 2, exclude key information including the results of numerous studies and other documents that are part of the license submittal. Because so many studies are incomplete and have therefore not been incorporated into the substantive compilation of factual material relevant to the current re-licensing effort, it is difficult to comment from the County’s perspective regarding addition of flood storage in the Baker Project. For example, there are several references to study “A09,” as yet incomplete, which will provide essential information regarding salmonid spawning and rearing habitat. It is also difficult to comment on a report that does not include the recommended conditions considered necessary to protect fish and wildlife from the federal resource agencies. In numerous instances, the PDEA refers to future actions that will be undertaken after the license is issued. (See page 5-117.) The mechanism to ensure these actions are completed is not clear. It should be noted that Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has refused to conduct a flood control study1 requested by Skagit County on December 2, 2002, to verify the County’s reservoir elevation recommendations, primarily based upon a concern that this study will not be complete in time to include with the license submittal.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Richland, Washington 99352 Executive Summary For more than a decade, the Pacific Northwest has been capable of generating more electric energy than the region’s utilities required for meeting customer demand. Now, however, the Regional Resource Adequacy Forum’s five-year forecast indicates the region will soon reach load-resource balance. As capacity constraints loom, the percentage of renewables on the grid continues to grow, driven by renewable portfolio standards throughout the region, production tax credits and decreasing costs. In the Bonneville Power Administration region, with a total of 6 gigawatts of wind power, the need to manage the variability and intermittency of renewable energy resources has become a very real challenge, sometimes necessitating wind curtailments to sustain reliable operations. The continued increase of these renewable sources will necessitate the deployment of technologies that can address intermittency in an environmentally sustainable fashion. Energy storage systems have the potential to improve the operating capabilities of the electricity grid.

He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England.
