Seattle City Light confirms power outage in northwest West Seattle

December 16, 2009 at 9:10 pm | In Utilities, West Seattle news | 4 Comments

Thanks to the WSB’er who called a few minutes ago with word of a power outage in the Charlestown Hill area [map]. Seattle City Light hadn’t confirmed it at that time, but has now: 68 customers; a crew is on the way, no word yet what caused it; they’re not promising restoration before 3 am. While the boundaries listed by SCL are not usually precise, here’s what they’re listing – between SW Spokane and SW Andover, and between 51st SW and 59th SW. 4:29 AM UPDATE: Just checked the City Light hotline again and there’s no longer an “outage message” recording, which should mean everybody’s back on.

  1. My street lost power.
    A few mins b4 the power went out the lites in my house flickered strongly.
    I stuck my head out the window and heard what sounded like fireworks “popping” somewhere east of 53rd St

  3. Yeah, the boundaries are often almost more confusing than helpful but it’s the official record so we share them anyway … hope everybody is back soon.
