WEST SEATTLE POWER OUTAGE: 53 homes in Gatewood

8:44 PM: Thanks for the texted tip – 53 homes are without power in Gatewood, the Seattle City Light map confirms. No word yet what caused the outage; the estimated restoration time is after 2 am, but remember that those times are “guesstimates” at best – could be sooner, or later. (Let us know if you see a repair truck – text or call 206-293-6302, our 24/7 hotline – thanks!)

10:30 PM: The map is now updated to attribute the outage to “bird/animal” – which is in line with the first comment below. No change in the restoration guesstimate, though.

5:39 AM: Power was restored early this morning – see comments.

     We live in 6500 block on 39 th & Morgan- the transformer on pole right outside blew- big flash -think it may have been a crow -as there was a huge crow ruckus right after. Our power is on- but folks south of us are dark. Not sure what’s taken so long to send a truck- but it’s been a couple of hours now & no truck yet.

    We live on 38th between Morgan and Willow and have power despite being in the outage area.   Looks like power is out on 39th down to California Ave.  No sign of repair trucks from our vantage point.

    1 am- truck finally made it.

    Power went out for about a minute at our Gatewood home around 5:50 AM.

    Just a while ago we up here on 35th Ave and SW Austin had a brief outage and power came back on within minutes. Any idea if this is related to this. It was at 6:00am when it happened?

    Interesting Raye & LINDAS98126 – I’m at 41st/Holly and our lights flickered twice at about that time, but never went completely out.  Hmmm

Sorry, comment time is over.
