7:45 AM: Thanks for the tips. Two notes: Explorer West Middle School (WSB sponsor) is in that 89-customer outage zone east of Arbor Heights and currently hoping to open at 10 am. Meantime, there’s a new outage, largest yet, on Pigeon Point and in North Delridge, 1,376 customers. Here’s a screengrab of the Seattle City Light map:
9:20 AM: The Pigeon Point/North Delridge outage is resolved.
10:40 AM: As noted in comments, East Marginal/99 is blocked by downed lines. (added) Readers are also saying access to the West Seattle Bridge from SB 99 is blocked – you’ll be rerouted to the low bridge.
11:11 AM: We’ll keep updating here as needed until we start a new afternoon report at noon.
Earlier:
6:25 AM: Good morning. It’s Tuesday, January 9th.
WINDY WEATHER
We’re still under a Wind Advisory alert until 10 pm. The wind roared in late last night and took down some trees – here’s our early-am coverage (thanks again to everyone who sent photos). We don’t have updates on whether any of those trees have been cleared yet; the one at Marine View Drive/104th is the only one that got an overnight advisory – please let us know if you happen onto any others. Showers are also in the forecast, high in the mid-40s. Today’s sunrise will be at 7:56 am, and the sun will set at 4:36 pm.
POWER OUTAGES
Here’s the City Light map. As of right now, the only notable outage we’ve had in this area all night is affecting 89 customers, between north Arbor Heights and White Center. Outside the SCL coverage area, Puget Sound Energy has more than 23,000 customers out – at one point that included much of Vashon Island, but that appears to be down to some spot outages.
