PSE’s unfair and bad-faith attempt to bypass city process | Letter

I wish to express my concern that PSE is holding private meetings with individual Eastside homeowners about details of Energize Eastside siting prior to receiving approval from the city of Bellevue over even choosing a route. This represents an unfair and bad-faith attempt to short-circuit and bypass required city environmental and permitting process.

The implication is that if a homeowner does not play along with these unfair PSE meetings, then PSE will penalize them by placing a transmission tower in their yard. But if a homeowner does play along, then PSE will place the transmission tower in the yard of their neighbor instead.
