Yesterday I signed a landmark agreement that will guide the future of Skagit Hydroelectric Project. This agreement reflects what it looks like for Seattle to move forward together: partnering with Tribal nations, protecting the environment and salmon passage, and ensuring Seattle continues to benefit from reliable, clean energy for decades to come.

It's National Skilled Trades Day! Today, we're celebrating the 556 skilled trades professionals at Seattle City Light. From the hydroelectric machinists maintaining our powerful dams to the auto mechanics keeping our fleet on the road, their expertise and hard work keep our city running.

With a growing need for skilled workers, now is a great time to explore a career in the trades. We had a fantastic time connecting with future leaders at the Washington Women in Trades Fair last week and are excited about the next generation of trades professionals.

Did you know City Light's Wildlife Research Grants Program has been supporting regional conservation efforts since 1995? Woodland Park Zoo's Robert Long and City Light's Ron Tressler help us close out Earth Month with a look into the zoo's Cascades Carnivore Monitoring Program. Their research is partly funded by these grants and helps us better support animal populations as climate change impacts habitats.
