Celebrate Public Power Week

Public Power Week is a time to celebrate what makes public power special — our community, our people, and our commitment to serving you.

Each day throughout the week, we’ll have sweet treats, daily themed activities, giveaways, and a chance to learn more about the people and services behind your local PUD.

Stop by, say hello, explore, ask questions, and celebrate Public Power Week with us!
