12:52 PM: The Seattle City Light outage map is itself out so we can’t gauge the situation without getting SCL comment, but we received some reports of flickering about an hour ago, and one report of power lost in Pigeon Point. Anyone still out, please let us know – thanks!

12:58 PM: The “full screen” version of the outage map is working – via that and a call to SCL’s media line, we’re told two areas are having problems – about three dozen customers between Charlestown Hill and Beach Drive, and the Pathfinder K-8 school area of Pigeon Point.

1:44 PM: Update from City Light – the school outage is resolved; the other two outages have separate causes, one related to a meter installation, one related to a fallen tree. And the main outage map should be functioning again by late this evening.

    Oh, I was starting to think it was just me, I kept looking to see if anyone else lost power just before noon. Mine was out almost a minute, long enough for everything to stop and I had to reset everything.

      Several people texted. Sorry to be late with the report, had to go offline for a while, now back and catching up with everything.

        It’s pretty hilarious that their website that shows outages is out. Who is in charge of their IT department? Public sector protection I guess.

    Genesee Hill school power was out an hour ago.

      The map doesn’t show the outage affecting that area but does show Pathfinder out.

    Was wondering what was going on. I had a couple of “flickers” with the lights, but didn’t lose power. Sounds like all is back to normal.

    Alki, my power went out for less than a minute about 11:30, like Editrixie I had to reset a couple of things.  So far so good.

    Seaview must had a full drop. Had to reset clocks when I got home around 14:30.

Sorry, comment time is over.
