July 30th, 2009

Congratulations to Laura M who found our Kitsap Sun Golden Bulb today! If you haven’t found a bulb yet don’t worry, there are more to be found! Just subscribe to this blog, follow the Golden Bulb on Twitter, or become a fan on facebook for our daily clues.

Today’s Clue:

  • The Seattle station I’m hanging out with brings a little bit of that Nashville sound to the Northwest.

Good luck bulb seekers!

The Bulb keeps on rockin’

July 27th, 2009

Thanks to all who came out to the biggest Rock the Bulb Tour stop yet! This last weekend, almost 1,300 PSE residential electric customers came out to the Issaquah Lowe’s store to exchange almost 12,000 incandescents for free, efficient CFL bulbs.

Event participants keep rocking the energy and money savings! So far, Rock the Bulb savings include:

  • 55,366 incandescent bulbs changed out for CFL bulbs
  • 12,789,546 kWh of electricity saved
  • $2,380,738 saved on energy bills
  • 14,068,500 lbs of greenhouse gas emissions avoided
  • Equivalent to 1,168 cars off the road

From here, the Tour heads to the Kitsap Peninsula — next stop, Silverdale Lowe’s (August 1-2, 10 AM-4 PM).

Kevin, Renato and Mike worked hard to rock the bulb this weekend in Issaquah!

The last few days have also been busy for the Golden Bulb! By following our clues on twitter, facebook and from our radio partner Spirit 105.7, five Golden Bulbs have been found since Friday — at Emerald Downs, Issaquah Lowe’s, Cascadia Community College, Redmond Chamber of Commerce and Kent Station. The bulb hunt is heating up!
