The Denny Substation Project team has updated its early substation design, and will be holding an open house to share its latest work and gather public comments.

Seattle City Light is building a new electrical substation in North Downtown to keep pace with Seattle’s growing power needs. The Denny Substation Project team has updated its early substation design, and will be holding an open house to share its latest work and gather public comments. This public open house is part of City Light’s ongoing work with the community and City Light ratepayers to design a substation that meets the utility’s mission and also reflects the neighborhood’s character.

The open house will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 9, 2013 at the following location:

Seattle BioMed

Discovery Rooms

307 Westlake Ave. N

Seattle, WA 98109

A presentation of the design concepts and art that will be integrated into the substation’s design will be held at 5:30 p.m.

About the Denny Substation Project

The new substation will help City Light serve customers in the South Lake Union, Cascade, Denny Triangle, Uptown, Belltown and First Hill neighborhoods, as well as other customers throughout City Light’s service area. Located near Denny Way and Stewart Street, the substation will ensure reliable power for some of the city’s fastest growing areas and customers throughout City Light’s service area.
