Greening Bumbershoot

Power

Bumbershoot venues rely on the carbon neutral energy provider, Seattle City Light. (Our refrigerator trucks that source the food supplies for your next Festival meal have also switched to biodiesel blends or clean power from Seattle City Light.)

Clean Power

Created by the citizens of Seattle, Seattle City Light has a long history in providing clean renewable power to Seattle and neighboring suburbs (since 1905!) Most (95%) of the Seattle City Light power is from carbon neutral, renewable sources. For non-renewable fuel, Seattle City Light has contracts to offset the greenhouse gas emissions, reaching its “net zero” goal.

Solar Power

Did you know that the Northwest Rooms (home to Bumbershoot’s visual arts exhibits) get power directly from the sun? A trip through the Festival’s visual arts exhibits can be thought provoking and illuminating, thanks to the exhibit creators. But, for the actual illumination of the rooms, we give thanks to the sun.
