Electrician in Bothell, WA — this is where we are based
HB Power Electric is based in Bothell at 16125 Juanita Woodinville Way NE, Unit 302. Bothell electrical permits are issued by Washington L&I rather than by the city. The King County side of Bothell is served by Puget Sound Energy and the Snohomish County side by Snohomish County PUD, which changes which rebates you can claim.

Bothell is home. The office is on Juanita Woodinville Way NE, and most of the places we work — Kenmore, Woodinville, Kirkland, Mill Creek, Lynnwood, Bellevue — are inside twenty minutes of it. Two things about Bothell surprise people. First, the city does not issue electrical permits: Washington L&I does, so the permit and the inspector come from the state, at the state fee schedule. Second, Bothell straddles a county line, and the utility changes with it. Addresses in 98011 on the King County side are Puget Sound Energy; 98021 and the Mill Creek edge on the Snohomish side are Snohomish County PUD. That decides which rebate table applies to your charger, your heat pump or your battery.
Who permits electrical work in Bothell
Bothell does not run its own electrical inspection programme, so L&I issues the permit and sends the inspector, at the published state fee schedule. Kenmore, Woodinville and Issaquah are the same. Neighbouring Bellevue, Kirkland and Everett all do their own.

Whichever office it is, the contractor buys the permit before work starts, which is what WAC 296-46B-901 requires. We pull it and we schedule the inspection.
What PSE pays for in Bothell

Utility incentives are set by Seattle City Light, Puget Sound Energy, Snohomish County PUD and Tacoma Power and change without notice. Figures were last verified on 5 September 2026. Most programs require pre-approval before equipment is purchased; HB Power Electric helps prepare applications but cannot guarantee approval or amounts.

Bothell questions
Who issues electrical permits in Bothell?
Washington L&I, not the City of Bothell. Bothell has no city electrical inspection programme, so the permit is bought from the state and a state inspector signs it off, at the fee schedule published in L&I form F500-130-000. Kenmore, Woodinville and Issaquah work the same way. Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Everett all run their own programmes, so a job ten minutes away can have a different permit path.
Which utility serves my Bothell address — PSE or Snohomish PUD?
It depends which side of the county line you are on, and it matters because the two utilities pay for completely different things. The King County side of Bothell, roughly ZIP 98011, is Puget Sound Energy. The Snohomish County side, roughly 98021 and out toward Mill Creek, is Snohomish County PUD. Your electricity bill settles it in a second, and we ask for it before quoting anything that involves a rebate.
Is there a trip charge for small jobs in Bothell?
Bothell, Kenmore and Woodinville are the shortest drives we make, so a small job here costs less to reach than the same job in Tacoma. We quote small work as a flat price after a look rather than by the hour wherever we can, and we will tell you on the phone if what you are describing is not worth a visit.
Can I meet you at the Bothell office?
By appointment, yes. The Unit 302 address on Juanita Woodinville Way NE is a service-area base rather than a shop with a counter — most days it is empty because the work is on site. Call or text 425-239-4425 first and we will set a time. For anything involving a quote, meeting at your property is more useful anyway, because the panel is the thing we need to see.
Working on something in Bothell?
Call or text and you will reach the owner, not a call centre. For anything with a drawing, an equipment list or a deadline, send it through the quote form and you will get a written scope back.
We reply as soon as we are off the job — usually the same day.
