Kitsap County Weighs Public Power | Seattle News

Kitsap County is considering a bold move to break free from Puget Sound Energy amid skyrocketing electric bills—jumping from $110 to $160 since 2020. The Kitsap Public Utility District is hosting a community listening session to gauge support for potentially offering its own electricity service, a move that would require voter approval. While critics argue public power is rushed and risky, the PUD insists they’re just seeking the best path forward for residents, with potential power sourced from Bonneville. If voters say yes, it won’t mandate service—but it will unlock the ability to study costs and feasibility. Your voice matters in this big decision.
