In Federal Way, your electricity comes from Puget Sound Energy, the investor-owned utility whose territory covers this stretch of south King County. If a home has natural gas, that's PSE too — though plenty of houses here run all-electric and skip gas entirely. Water and sewer are a separate story: at nearly all of the addresses we sampled, both run through Lakehaven Water and Sewer District. Nobody shops for any of this — Washington has no retail choice, so your address decides who serves you.
Federal Way only became a city in 1990, spreading along the old federal highway that gave it its name instead of around a historic downtown core. Because it incorporated so late, the city never took water and sewer in-house — those services had long run through a separate provider, and they still do. So Lakehaven handles the pipes while Puget Sound Energy's lines were strung long before there was a city here. The result: utilities that don't track city hall or city limits.

Based on 12 sampled Federal Way addresses spanning ZIP codes 98003, 98023 (2026-07-20). Yours may differ — the Federal Way lookup is the tiebreaker.
Edges are where it gets tricky. Toward the southern and western fringes — where Federal Way brushes the Pierce County line by Milton and Edgewood — a handful of addresses draw water and sewer from Tacoma Public Utilities, not Lakehaven. Unincorporated pockets just outside the city can differ too.
The one-minute fix: run your Federal Way address through the lookup and skip the guessing.
Moving to Federal Way — whether it's a place near Steel Lake or out toward Dash Point — here's the short list for getting utilities on before the boxes arrive.
At every one of the Federal Way addresses we sampled, PSE was the electric utility. The exact Federal Way provider depends on the address.
Generally no — Federal Way electric territory is fixed by address: the utility holding your Federal Way block is your utility, and at every one of sampled Federal Way addresses that was PSE — Federal Way is a one-signup town.
At nearly all of the Federal Way addresses we sampled, Lakehaven Water And Sewer District was the water provider — sewer included. Other districts take over around Federal Way's edges, so check your block.
No — at every one of the sampled Federal Way addresses, PSE was the gas utility, but plenty of Federal Way homes are all-electric and never open this account.
Puget Sound Energy handles electricity across Federal Way — it's the investor-owned utility for the area, and it shows up at every address we sampled. Where a home also has natural gas, that's PSE as well; plenty of Federal Way houses run all-electric and have no gas line at all. Washington doesn't offer retail choice, so you can't shop providers — your address sets who serves you. Run the lookup to confirm yours.
For most of Federal Way, water and sewer both run through Lakehaven Water and Sewer District — it turns up at nearly all the addresses we checked. Out toward the Pierce County line, a few properties are served by Tacoma Public Utilities instead. Since the split follows old service boundaries rather than city limits, two nearby homes can land on different providers. The lookup is the reliable way to see which one covers your address.
Both exist, but plenty of Federal Way homes are all-electric — heat, hot water, and the stove all running on electricity, with no gas hookup at all. Where a home does have natural gas, Puget Sound Energy supplies it, the same utility behind your power. Whether your particular place has a gas line comes down to the individual house, so it's worth checking. The lookup shows which providers are tied to your address.
