EFSEC Public Comment Opportunity

Developers want to bury a massive, high-voltage power line under the Columbia River. It’s shocking.
The Washington Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) is hosting three more Land Use Consistency Hearings next week on November 16th, 17th, and 18th. Each of EFSEC’s hearings will be held in-person, with an option to join remotely through Microsoft Teams.
This is a public testimony opportunity. Your voice matters—let EFSEC and Gov. Ferguson know your concerns about the project!
Speakers are encouraged to register in advance by calling (360) 664-1345 or emailing efsec@efsec.wa.gov before 5:00 p.m. the day before your chosen hearing.
