Seattle City Light

Yesterday I signed a landmark agreement that will guide the future of Skagit Hydroelectric Project. This agreement reflects what it looks like for Seattle to move forward together: partnering with Tribal nations, protecting the environment and salmon passage, and ensuring Seattle continues to benefit from reliable, clean energy for decades to come.

It's National Skilled Trades Day! Today, we're celebrating the 556 skilled trades professionals at Seattle City Light. From the hydroelectric machinists maintaining our powerful dams to the auto mechanics keeping our fleet on the road, their expertise and hard work keep our city running.

With a growing need for skilled workers, now is a great time to explore a career in the trades. We had a fantastic time connecting with future leaders at the Washington Women in Trades Fair last week and are excited about the next generation of trades professionals.
