Power outage hits part of restaurant/bar block in Admiral District

| Utilities | West Seattle news

Thanks to Aaron for the tip: A small power outage has affected several establishments on the east side of California, north of Admiral Way. He says it had something to do with a transformer problem behind Admiral Pub. Looks like that’s one of three businesses affected, along with Yen Wor and Brickyard; we just went in and checked – Admiral Pub is empty right now, Yen Wor is open, waiting for “an hour or two” to see what happens,” and Brickyard is open but, a Twitter tipster also says, serving drinks, not food, and “cash only.” They say they were told the power may not return before midnight; we’re checking with City Light. (The other side of the street is NOT affected.)

Power is back on and at this time there are two trucks and crews in the alley and up on the pole repairing. Seems like it may have been just those 3 businesses that went out. Thinking back there was a loud and short “thud-like” sound around 5:30ish. Maybe that was a transformer blowing.
