8:47 AM: Thanks for the tip. Almost 1,000 customers have lost power – the map shows they’re mostly in Highland Park, South Delridge, Riverview, and South Park.
9:08 AM: The map shows another 29 customers added to the outage total, now 1,023.
9:54 AM: After an hour and a half, all but 30 customers are back on, according to the map. Wherever you are, keep your devices charged today – it’s still intermittently blustery.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON: We’re covering the new, bigger outage separately here.
Brownouts and flickering lights in Admiral – no full outage yet.
Definitely flickering here in Gatewood. Charging all my devices, and power sticks now!!
Fortunately this was fixed quickly. We’ve lived here for nearly 20 years and this power outage map could be a copy from every time there are high winds in West Seattle. One of the first areas impacted and often last neighborhoods to restore power. Wondering how Seattle City Light could bolster reliability in such a chronically hit area.
I’m one of the 30 still without power. To me, it looked like the transformers in the alley between 15th and 14th are blown, but I’m no expert. No crews out working that I saw. Any update on the cause or whether work will start soon?
Just lost power in Highland Park again at around 1:25 pm after some flickering. Hoping it comes back on soon. Stay safe in this weather, everyone!
That’s a new one. Reporting separately at https://westseattleblog.com/2021/10/another-west-seattle-power-outage-4440-out/
Power out in 6400-6700 sw 25th. Exploding transformer sounds then no power for the last 30 minutes.
Sorry, comment time is over.
