PSE Pole Services team removes double utility poles across service area

Ever noticed “double poles” in your neighborhood?

When we replace utility poles, the old and new poles often stand side-by-side for many years while we coordinate with carriers to safely transfer communication equipment. We know these double poles aren’t the most attractive sight, which is why we’re excited about our Pole Services programs designed to dramatically speed up the transfer process and eliminate the existing double poles to reduce visual impact.

What’s changing? For new projects, wire transfers will now be completed within 45 days.

Where are we working? Throughout our service area. We started in Bellevue, Puyallup, Renton, and Vashon Island, and we’ll be coming to your community soon.

These programs help us serve you better while keeping neighborhoods looking their best. Stay tuned for updates!
