Puget Sound Energy, a subsidiary of Puget Energy (NYSE:PSD): 

    Who:        Nearly 220 special needs students from Whatcom, Skagit,
            Snohomish and Island county school districts and their
            families will join dozens of employee volunteers from
            Puget Sound Energy (PSE) to experience the joy of trout
            fishing.

When:       10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, June 9, 2007
            Puget Sound Energy's (PSE's) Upper Baker Dam
            15 miles north of Milepost 82 from State Highway 20
            Near Concrete, Skagit County

What:       "Troutfest gives students something they may never before
            have experienced," said Barbara Hawkings, superintendent
            of the Concrete School District. Hawkings and her son, who
            has Down syndrome, have attended PSE's Troutfest every
            year since it started.

            Since 2003, PSE has opened the grounds of its Baker River
            hydroelectric facility near Concrete to give special needs
            students the experience and joy of fishing. A fish rearing
            pond located near Baker Lake will be filled with 6,000
            trout. Each student will be paired with a volunteer
            fishing partner to catch fish.

Background: Since 1925, PSE has operated the Baker River hydroelectric
            power generation facility to provide electricity to
            utility customers and recreational opportunities to the
            community. The 175 megawatt project consists of two dams,
            each with its own powerhouse.

            In coordination with the Washington State Department of
            Fish and Wildlife and other agencies, PSE has developed
            fish spawning beaches and initiated fish-rearing programs
            at the facility. When Baker River salmon runs dipped to an
            all-time low in 1985, PSE joined with tribal, federal and
            state fishery agencies to prevent Baker River sockeye from
            becoming an endangered species.

About PSE's Baker River Hydroelectric Project

PSE's largest hydropower facility is the Baker River Hydroelectric Project. Located on a tributary of the Skagit River in northwest Washington, the project has two dams, each with its own powerhouse. The dams' reservoirs, Baker Lake and Lake Shannon, are fed by runoff from the flanks of Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan. Lower Baker Dam, completed in 1925, is a 285-foot-high concrete structure with 70 megawatts of power-generating capacity. The 312-foot-high Upper Baker Dam, completed in 1959, has a generating capacity of 105 megawatts. The project includes extensive salmon-propagation facilities and numerous amenities for public recreation. It also provides flood control for communities in the Skagit River Valley. A 50-year federal operating license granted to the Baker River Project in 1956 expired in April. The project is now operating under an annual license from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission while PSE seeks a new long-term license.
