On Aug. 22, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) will hold a community open house event at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center at 16600 N.E. 80th St. from 6-7:30 p.m. to discuss the Sammamish-Juanita 115 kV Transmission Line Project.

After 10 months of discussion and review of community input, a stakeholder advisory group made its preferred route recommendation for the transmission line on July 18 and the open house will give the community the opportunity to discuss the route, ask questions and provide comments and offer additional community concerns or information that should be considered as PSE develops the final route. PSE officials plan to finalize the transmission line route later this summer.

Open house attendees can also learn about the challenges facing the local electric system and the siting and public involvement process.

The Redmond event is one of two PSE open houses. The first one will be Aug. 21 at the Lake Washington Institute of Technology at 11605 132nd Ave. N.E. in Kirkland, in the West Building, Room 401. This open house will be from 6-7:30 p.m.

Both open houses will cover the same information and refreshments will be provided.
