    Wow that was quick ! They should put some barriers in front of the poles. Always seems to be the same few on the curve on that hill

    Maybe people could just learn how to drive?

    Or motorists could slow down (what’s the speed limit there? 30?), pay attention,  and stop hitting things.   Why don’t we try that for a while and see if things improve?

    Can also slow down and put your phone down.
    Too many people doing this in West Seattle.
    Please stop it. Your life and someone else’s life, depends on YOU !

    I noticed the flicker while in the shower – so happy it was only a flicker and not an outage!!

      I watched the outage map for an hour or so afterward and no actual outage ever showed up.

Sorry, comment time is over.
