Too close to our schools
The proposed site is less than 0.7 miles from Cascade View Elementary. Evacuating a school during a toxic gas release requires minutes, not hours.

Why This Matters to Your Family
Thermal runaway & toxic gas
Lithium-ion batteries can experience uncontrollable fires that produce hydrogen fluoride and other toxic gases. The EPA and DOT recommend a 330-foot isolation zone — a radius that could overlap with Fisher Creek Park.
Toxic plume model →Inadequate financial protection
King County requires only a $1 million bond. The Moss Landing, California battery fire in January 2025 caused over $100 million in damage and environmental cleanup. The bond covers less than 1% of a real incident.
No safety data on file
No noise study. No evacuation plan. No fire response plan. No stormwater containment plan. The battery chemistry hasn't even been publicly disclosed. We're being asked to accept a project with almost zero verified safety data.
Property values & insurance
Properties near industrial facilities can see significant value declines. Homeowner insurance companies are increasingly sensitive to nearby industrial zoning — expect higher premiums or coverage challenges.

Map summary: the proposed 45-acre Jupiter Power battery storage site sits at 47.5264°N, 121.8604°W — approximately 0.4 miles southeast of Fisher Creek Park and 0.7 miles southeast of Cascade View Elementary. The site is within the EPA / DOT 330-foot toxic-gas isolation zone of nearby homes. Concentric rings on the map show 1-mile and 3-mile radii from the site.
