The Puget Sound Power & Light
Company Records document the emergence and early operations of one of the
leading private power and transportation operations in Washington State. The
collection reflects the history of Puget Sound Power and Light's predecessor
and subsidiary companies from around 1888 to 1932 and in particular the
development of rail transit systems in the Puget Sound area from the late
nineteenth century through the 1930s. Records include administrative,
financial, operational, legal, and property material documenting the interests
and activities of over fifty of the “Puget Power” companies, and their role in
the provision of utility and transportation services in Western Washington.
Collection materials are in
English
The Puget Sound Power & Light Company’s history began with
Massachusetts-based Stone & Webster Engineering Consulting Corporation’s
acquisition of streetcar and power company holdings in Seattle and the Puget
Sound region. In 1900, Stone & Webster’s newly created Seattle Electric
Company consolidated property and rights of small privately-owned
transportation and utility businesses including Madison Street Cable Railway,
Union Trunk Line, and Third Street & Suburban Railway. Stone & Webster
acquired West End & North End Railway and Seattle Railway in 1901, and
Seattle Central Railway in 1902. With the formation of Seattle City Light in
1904, Stone & Webster became a major provider of electricity and street
lighting to Seattle. Its achievements continued with the 1908 formation of
Pacific Coast Power Company (a subsidiary of Seattle Electric Company), which
established control over the land and operations of the Tacoma Power Company,
including pending construction of a hydro-electric plant at White River. In the
same year, acquisition of Seattle Tacoma Power Company provided access to
property and assets of Charles Hinckley Baker – including power plants at
Snoqualmie Falls and electricity distribution rights in Seattle and Tacoma.
In 1902, incorporation of the Whatcom County Railway & Light
Company marked the start of Puget Power’s domination of public transportation
and power systems in the City of Bellingham. Whatcom County Railway & Light
acquired the former interests of the Whatcom-Fairhaven Gas and Northern Railway
& Improvement Companies. These companies themselves comprised earlier
consolidations of local rail and utility services: Fairhaven Street Railway
Company, Lake Whatcom Electric Street Railway Company, Fairhaven Electric
Light, Power & Motor Company, Fairhaven & New Whatcom Railway Company,
Bellingham Bay Electric Street Railway, and Bellingham Bay Gas Company. In
1906, Whatcom County Railway & Light Company expanded control over
distribution of gas, electricity and lighting in Bellingham through acquisition
of the utility holdings of Columbia Improvement Society (previously owned by
Bellingham Bay Improvement Company), and a forty-year contract to supply power
in the City.
In 1901, Seattle Electric Company assumed responsibility for financing
and construction of the Seattle-Tacoma Interurban, forming the subsidiary Puget
Sound Electric Railway to control and operate both interurban and street
railway interests in Seattle. The final stages of interurban construction
occurred in 1910-1912 with completion of the Seattle-Everett Interurban
Burlington line and construction of the lines between Mount Vernon and
Sedro-Woolley by Bellingham-Skagit Railway Company. In January 1912, the newly
incorporated Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Company merged
Bellingham-Skagit Railway and Seattle-Everett Interurban as Pacific Northwest
Traction Company, responsible for the operation of several Puget Sound
interurban railway lines. Whatcom County Railway & Light reorganized as the
Bellingham Division of Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Company. In
addition to their passenger lines, Puget Power provided freight services to
regional businesses and industries such as the Renton coal-mines owned by Puget
Sound Electric Railway.
As automobiles became more prevalent during the 1920s, the company –
reincorporated in 1919 as Puget Sound Power & Light Company – had to
respond to the gradual demise of the railroad passenger industry. Subsidiary
company Pacific Northwest Traction offered bus services between Seattle and
Bellingham from 1925 onwards, while the Seattle Interurban Motor Company
provided services to Vancouver, British Columbia as early as 1921. The various
interurban rail and bus services ultimately integrated as North Coast Lines in
1927, as use of the railway interurban gradually declined and were disbanded
between 1928 and 1939. “Puget Power” increasingly focused its interests on the
distribution of power in the Puget Sound region, divesting its railway
interests, and stepping-up acquisition of Washington utility companies. Despite
involvement in some major development projects (such as the construction of
transmission lines across the Cascades range in 1922), support for municipal
ownership forced Stone & Webster’s subsidiaries to compete for increasingly
limited property and distribution rights. Puget Sound Power & Light faced
increasing competition and legal challenges from Washington State Public
Utility Districts, losing power distribution rights in Seattle and Tacoma by
1930. These conflicts continued through the 1960s, despite its 1943
restructuring as a Washington-based corporation. In 1997, Puget Sound Power
& Light merged with the Seattle gas distributor, Washington Energy Company
to form Puget Sound Energy.
The Puget Sound Power & Light Company Records document the
emergence and early activities of one of the leading private power and
transportation operations in Washington State. Records reflect the
incorporation, property and operations of around fifty Stone & Webster, or
“Puget Power” companies involved in the provision of utility and transit
services in Western Washington and in particular the Puget Sound region.
Materials span the period 1888-1990, with the bulk of records dated 1888-1932.
The collection is divided into fifty-three series, each reflecting activities
of specific predecessors or subsidiaries of Puget Sound Power & Light.
Company records include administrative and corporate records, financial
records, operational records and some property and legal records.
The collection contains a small volume of material documenting the
existence and operations of early Seattle-based street railway systems
including those of First Avenue Electric Railway Company, Front Street Cable
Railway Company, and Madison Street Cable Railway Company. Record and minute
books document the gradual acquisition of their interests and property by Stone
& Webster – initially through Seattle Traction and Seattle-Everett Traction
Companies, and by Seattle Electric Company in 1900. The collection also
contains a small number of administrative and financial records relating to
early street railway and power companies in the City of Bellingham, including
Fairhaven & New Whatcom Railway, Lake Whatcom Electric Railway, Bellingham
Bay Gas and Whatcom Fairhaven Gas Companies. Whatcom County Railway and Light
Company records contain significant information about street railway and power
service in Bellingham after 1902, with the bulk of material dated 1903-1915.
Records for the Seattle-Tacoma Interurban Railway, Bellingham-Skagit
Railway Company and Pacific Northwest Traction document the construction and
operation of the interurban railway systems in the Puget Sound region, and in
particular, the line connecting Bellingham with Sedro-Woolley and Mt. Vernon.
Stone and Webster’s interests and operations in the Everett area are reflected
in the records of Everett Railway Light and Water Company and Puget Sound
International Railway Company. Materials generated by Pacific Traction Company
and Tacoma Railway and Power Company pertain to “Puget Power’s” interests and
activities in Tacoma, while operations of the Seattle-Tacoma interurban railway
are documented in the records of the Puget Sound Electric Railway Company.
Puget Sound Electric Railway’s coal-mine holdings are documented in the
financial and operational records of the Renton Cooperative Coal Company and
Renton Coal Company. Puget Sound Power and Light’s increasing acceptance and
use of automobile transportation is reflected in the records of the Puget Sound
Bus Company and Seattle Tacoma Union Stage Lines. The collection also includes
aerial photographs generated by Puget Sound Power & Light Company and its
real estate department between 1986 and 1990.

Washington University, Bellingham WA 98225-9123.
The bulk of the Puget Sound Power & Light Company records were
transferred from the company’s Bellingham office in 1972. The initial donation
included papers and bound volumes generated by approximately forty predecessors
and subsidiaries of the parent company. In 1994, CPNWS received additional
records documenting the property interests of various companies from Puget
Power’s Real Estate office in Bellevue, Washington.
Curt Ryser initiated work on the Puget Sound Power & Light Company
Records in 1987, inventorying oversized volumes and creating a box level
inventory. Daniel E. Turbeville III contributed an introduction to this initial
finding aid. Initial processing included a 1 in 20 sampling of certain journal
entries, vouchers and receipts created by ten of Puget Power’s subsidiary
companies (the remainder were destroyed). All sampled records are identified in
the current container list for the collection. In 2001, Ruth Steele merged
unprocessed material into the main collection, established consistent series
and sub-series arrangement and created a comprehensive guide to the Puget Sound
Power & Light Company Records. Records relating to the Lake Whatcom
Improvement Society and Puget Sound Freight Lines (unrelated to the Puget Sound
Power and Light Company) were removed from the collection and are cataloged as
separate CPNWS collections. In 2003, Ruth Steele and Amber Raney re-engineered
the collection. In June 2004, Michal Walden merged records created by Puget
Sound Power and Light Company, and the Washington Oregon Corporation into the
main collection. Joshua Zimmerman merged additional Puget Sound Power and Light
Company materials in July 2005. In April 2006 Roz Koester merged additional
materials into the collection.

Puget Sound Electric Railway Company
circa 1903-1960s
1903-1929
Although company records contain brochures
and a small amount of correspondence from the 1950s and 1960s, the bulk of its
records date to the period 1903-1929. Monthly financial and operational reports
reflect activities and expenses associated with the operations of the
Seattle-Tacoma interurban, documenting expenses and revenue, construction
plans, and the company’s relationship with Puget Sound Traction, Light &
Power and the Tacoma Railway & Power Company. Operating reports include
statistical information document passenger car operations, and contain evidence
regarding power distribution and suppliers. A small number of legal case
records in the series, dated 1904-1908, reflect various disputes regarding the
regulation of private utilities, and the construction of a hydro-electric plant
at White River.

Whatcom County Railway & Light Company
1903-1938
1903-1915
With the incorporation of the Whatcom County
Railway & Light Company in 1902, Stone and Webster consolidated control of
Bellingham’s railway and utility companies. Administrative record books
document early proposals for construction of the interurban linking Bellingham,
Mt Vernon and Sedro-Woolley, and incorporation of Puget Sound Traction, Light
and Power Company (of which Whatcom County Railway and Light became the
Bellingham Division in 1912). Financial and operating reports contain detailed
breakdowns of expenses and revenues for the Company’s railway and utility
holdings in Bellingham. Operating reports contain monthly statistics relating
to the distribution of water, gas, and electric power in the city, including
manufacturing data for the various local power supply stations. Other financial
records contained in this series include construction and expense accounts,
voucher books and petty cash ledgers.
