Shannon M. of Olympia is today’s lucky Golden Bulb finder! Shannon tracked down the bulb at the Auburn Mayor’s Office and earned herself a $250 gift card to Lowe’s. Congratulations, Shannon!

Shannon and her prize bulb.

Today’s additional Golden Bulb clues are:

• I’m learning all about collecting, preserving, and interpreting the Naval heritage of the Pacific Northwest. Too bad bulbs can’t enlist!
• This place focuses on history, but got a brand new name and location for itself in 2007. On the water, fittingly!

As always, follow us on twitter or facebook to get up-to-the-minute Golden Bulb clue delivery!

And if you haven’t attended a Rock the Bulb Tour event, come see us at the Bremerton Lowe’s this weekend, August 8 and 9 from 10 AM to 4 PM each day. PSE residential electric customers can bring in up to 10 incandescent bulbs and exchange them for up to 10 free, energy-efficient CFL bulbs.

PSE’s Rock the Bulb Tour is off to a great start! Last weekend, PSE Rocked the Bulb at the Renton Lowe’s.  Thanks to Lowe’s, our staff and volunteers for all their help – and thanks to all our residential electric customers who came out, rain or shine, to exchange their old incandescent bulbs for free energy-saving CFL bulbs.

More than 500 customers came out and exchanged over 4,600 incandescent bulbs for CFLs. In addition, PSE partner Project Porchlight distributed about 13,600 bulbs door-to-door and at community events in the Renton area over the last two weeks.

By rocking the bulb, together we can save energy, money and help protect the environment! Renton savings numbers include:

• More than 4.2 million kWh of electricity saved over the life of the CFL bulbs
• Almost $785,000 saved on electricity bills
• More than 4.6 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions avoided – equivalent to taking 385 cars off the road for a year.

Stay tuned for photos from the event. Thank you to everyone who came out last weekend and be sure catch the next leg of our tour July 18-19 at Lowe’s in Bellevue!
