Take Action

  1. Sign up for updates. We’ll alert you when the SEPA comment window opens, when new permits are filed, and when community meetings are scheduled. If you do one thing, do this.

  2. Write to the Snoqualmie City Council. The site is in the city’s Southwest Potential Annexation Area. The City of Snoqualmie has no jurisdiction today, but it could. We’ve already written to the Mayor and Council asking them to act. You can reinforce that message:
    • Snoqualmie City Council — councilmembers@snoqualmiewa.gov
    • Ask them to:
      1. Request formal notification from King County on all Cascadia Ridge permit actions and SEPA determinations so the city isn’t caught off guard.
      2. Direct staff to evaluate annexation feasibility for the project parcels or the broader Southwest Potential Annexation Area. Annexation would bring the project under the city’s Comprehensive Plan, which designates this land for business park and mixed use — not industrial battery storage.
      3. Engage King County during SEPA review with a formal city comment when Jupiter Power refiles.
      4. Consider whether the Comprehensive Plan addresses the risk of incompatible land use decisions on adjacent unincorporated parcels — this won’t be the last proposal of its kind.

  3. Get informed. Understanding the permitting process, the technology, the fire risk, and what we’re asking for makes your voice more effective when the time comes.

  4. Attend community meetings. King County’s BESS ordinance requires a community meeting before a permit can be filed. Jupiter Power held one on March 17, 2026. Future meetings will be announced.

  5. Comment during SEPA review. When Jupiter Power refiles their permit, King County will open a 21-day public comment window. This is the primary formal opportunity for public input. We’ll send an alert when it opens.
