Hydropower Is Seattle's Energy Foundation

City Light has been recognized as a Tree Line USA utility for the 12th year in a row. This recognition honors utilities that care for trees while ensuring reliable power. To earn this award, we follow best practices for managing trees near power lines. This includes providing annual training for our staff and contractors and educating customers on proper tree care. We also run programs to conserve energy and plant trees, and we support Arbor Day celebrations across the city.
