Snohomish County PUD is the second largest publicly owned utility in the Pacific Northwest and the twelfth largest in the nation in terms of customers served, providing public power to Snohomish County and Camano Island. The utility serves 320,000 electric customers and 20,000 water customers.

The PUD was formed by a majority vote of the people and began operating as an electric utility on September 1, 1949, providing public power to Snohomish County and Camano Island. (They actually began as a water utility on January 17, 1946, but don’t provide water service to the entire county.) There are 27 other PUDs in Washington, but Snohomish PUD is the largest.
The PUD’s service area consists of 2,200 square miles, including all of Snohomish County and Camano Island. The utility maintains about 5,800 miles of distribution line.
