From Legacy to Leadership: Snohomish PUD’s Digital Transformation Journey Building a JD Power-Worthy Customer Experience

In the Pacific Northwest, Snohomish County PUD serves more than 367,000 electric customers across 2,200 square miles—blending rural communities, urban growth, and major industrial loads like Boeing’s Everett factory and a regional naval base. It’s a complex service area with evolving expectations.

But this isn’t just a story about modernization. It’s about a mindset shift.

With a bold goal to become one of the top-ranked utilities in the country for customer satisfaction, Snohomish PUD is rethinking how it serves, communicates, and innovates. JD Power became their rallying point—but customer trust became their north star.

What Changed: The Platform and the Mindset

Customers can now request 14-day extensions with no phone call. If they're ineligible, the system tells them why. That alone has reduced call volume and frustration. Another win? The move request feature—added with no promotion, yet processed nearly 2,000 times in just a few months. Customers didn’t need instructions—they just needed intuitive options.
