Power-line problem in Morgan Junction

| Utilities | WS breaking news

And not weather-related that we know of: Our WSB Sales Guy just passed through and reports that there’s some kind of problem with a power line between Morgan Junction Thriftway and the Shell station/strip mall-let area along the east side of California Ave to the south, so it appears some of the businesses (we don’t know how many) may be experiencing power trouble. 3:12 PM UPDATE: The line is busted on the pole right over the BECU ATM between Thriftway and the Shell station; as the photo below shows, City Light crews are on it. The folks at Thriftway say they’ve been without power for more than an hour but with generator help you can still make purchases, and they’ve been told the power should be back on soon. 4:52 PM UPDATE: Power’s back on, all’s well.

I arrived at Thriftway, on my way home from work, about 1/2 hour after the last Update.

The clerk at the Service Desk mentioned the outage. I didn’t realize it had been restored so recent to my arrival.

I wondered outloud if my building across the street had been affected, and she mentioned that she thought it was just confined to the store, or that side of the street.

Nothing at home indicates that my power was out, at least for any significant amount of time.
