ORIGINAL 3:16 PM REPORT: It’s not on the City Light hotline, but there’s an outage in parts of eastern West Seattle. We’re driving 35th, and lights are out north and south of Morgan, though Morgan itself is on. 3:26 PM: We are on Delridge, and lights are out Juneau to Trenton. 3:42 PM: Beware while driving – we saw a near-crash at Delridge/Orchard when someone didn’t stop. 3:53 PM: Some commenters say they are back on. City Light media just called us back, saying 6559 customers are/were affected, and tree trouble is blamed.
8:46 PM POSTSCRIPT: Just added a photo we took while stopped at Orchard/Delridge, covering the outage. City Light has a brief item on its Power Lines site, confirming the outage lasted about an hour, blaming it on a tree, and upping the total number of homes/businesses (“customers”) affected to almost 7,000. Thanks to everyone who tipped us off about this, and everyone who added info here via comments; first note was from Al at 30th/Thistle – many followed, via e-mail, text, Twitter and Facebook – we’re here for breaking news 24/7; all the ways to reach WSB are listed here.
