Everett to Delta Line FAQs
Why is the new line needed?
The new line will support increasing electrical demand in and around the city of Everett. It will also provide increased reliability and prevent the electric system from experiencing low voltage should local power be interrupted.
Where will the new line be located?
The new line will connect the PUD’s Everett Substation, located in Everett just west of Interstate-5 between McDougall Ave. and Smith Ave. and north of 36th St, and its Delta Switching Station, located just north of the State Route 529/W. Marine View Dr. interchange in north Everett.
The line will be approximately 3.5 miles in length.
What will the new line look like?
The new transmission line and structures will be similar in design and height to the PUD’s existing 115-kV structures currently in Everett. (See sample photo).
In the summer of 2025, the PUD will reach out to community members to solicit input on ways to enhance the aesthetics of the new line. Information will be available on this page.
What is the timing?
Now that a route has been chosen, next steps include detailed engineering, permitting, right-of-way acquisition and construction. PUD estimates the line will be in service by summer 2027.
