Bonney Lake sits up on the plateau east of Sumner, with Lake Tapps next door, and both are on Panther Electric’s own service-area list. Most of the housing here is newer than in Tacoma: subdivisions from the 1990s on, lake homes and recent construction.
Newer homes usually have sound bones, so the work is about what you’re adding. EV chargers for two-car households, generators for the windstorms that roll across the plateau, detached shops and garages, landscape and exterior lighting, and remodels that need more circuits than the builder left.
Puget Sound Energy serves Bonney Lake and Lake Tapps, so any service upgrade is coordinated with PSE.

Bonney Lake questions
Asked in Bonney Lake.
Short answers to what Bonney Lake homeowners ask. More in the full Q&A.
Sparks, a burning smell, a hot panel or half the house dark? Turn off the breaker or the main if it’s safe to do so, then call. For fire or smoke, get out and call 911. For a downed line, stay well clear and call your utility.
Can we install two EV chargers on one service?
Often, yes. A load calculation shows what the service can carry, and chargers with load sharing or load management can split one circuit between two cars. Panther checks the panel and service before quoting.
Who is the electric utility in Bonney Lake and Lake Tapps?
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) serves the area. Panther coordinates with PSE on service upgrades and meter work.
Can Panther run power to a new detached shop?
Yes. That usually means a feeder from the house panel to a subpanel in the shop, sized for what you’ll run out there and permitted and inspected. Panther will size it with you before quoting.
