WEST SEATTLE WEATHER: Power outages for 13,000+ on the peninsula; tree trouble; other ongoing windstorm updates

(QUICK LINKS: National Weather Service alerts pageSeattle City Light outage map)

5:37 PM: Lights flickered up here, twice, a few minutes ago – checked the Seattle City Light outage map and saw the first outage of note, 55 homes on Genesee Hill:

SCL says this started about 10 minutes ago. Weather updates to come; if you have power trouble, tree trouble, etc., text us at 206-293-6302.

6:03 PM: Above is a texted photo of the tree that one reader suspects is to blame for the Genesee Hill outage. Meantime, emergency responders are being sent to a report of a tree into a house in the 8100 block of 16th SW. And we’ve flickered again, which is likely to mean another outage somewhere.

6:26 PM: A reader reports power out at 17th/Dawson – so far per the map, it does not appear to be a major outage. … 10 minutes later, 52nd/Andover just reported an “explosion” and outage, though there’s still nothing mapped in West Seattle that’s bigger than the Genesee Hill outage.

6:48 PM: Highland Park/Riverview readers report power’s out, and more of Puget Ridge. Not mapped yet, though…. The City Light map hasn’t changed numbers in a while so we’re beginning to wonder if it’s broken. Keep letting us know where outages are. (You can do that via commenting below, too.) … Texters also report power out at:
-9th/Thistle (Highland Park)
-Tree down on SW Rose at 35th, “lying on a pole/likely a power line”

7:19 PM: Also getting outage reports from Westwood and South Delridge (including 17th/Barton). White Center as well – more in comments. …. City Light has finally acknowledged onscreen that the outage map is broken. If you’re not within earshot, the wind continues to gust, at least as we’re hearing it here in Upper Fauntleroy. … Just got word of a downed wire at 35th/110th in Arbor Heights, as well as a tree blocking northbound Highway 509. … If you have to go out, watch for tree debris in roads and on sidewalks, like this, texted from near 39th/Kenyon:

7:48 PM: Texter says the Westwood-area outage has affected many stores at Westwood Village, so they’re closed – they mentioned QFC, Marshall’s, Starbucks, Big Five, Rite Aid. Target, they say, still has power. … The SCL map seems to be adding outage numbers a handful at a time. It’s now past 10,300, but that’s likely still a FRACTION of how many are out. In West Seattle, we’ve heard primarily from east of 35th, not surprising since these winds are coming out of the southeast. (Some exceptions though, like the Genesee Hill outage, and we’re also hearing from a few streets west of there, 5300 block of SW Manning and Orleans as well, per one texter.)

8:05 PM: City Light also acknowledges that its outage-reporting phone line is broken, so don’t bother calling it for a while either. … Per commenters, the 1st Avenue South Bridge is broken. (Don’t drive unless it’s an emergency, anyway!)… WSDOT says it’s stuck in the “up” position.

8:20 PM: Looks like SCL’s map has caught up – now showing more than 71,000 out around its service area. (The outage at the center of the screenshot above is the biggest one in West Seattle that hadn’t shown on the map until now.) … The photo below was just texted, “Entire tree down on 21st Ave SW and Barton, missed our car by inches!”

8:51 PM: Hard to be absolutely certain from the live camera but the 1st Avenue South Bridge appears to be open to traffic again. SCL’s total number of mapped customers out, service-area-wide (they serve areas outside the city limits too), is up to 76,000+. … A few reminders: Intersections with flashing or dark signals are all-way stops … If your power is out, DON’T OPEN YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER — what you have in there will last longer if you don’t … Whatever restoration estimate City Light shows for your outage, ignore it – it’s just a guess; could be sooner, could be later – the estimates are not based on an actual eyes-on assessment of the situation.

9:29 PM: Though the map hasn’t caught up yet, we’re hearing from people in northwest West Seattle who just lost power – Alki, north and south and west of The Junction, to name a few. … SFD/SPD are dispatching to a tree down on wires in the 4600 block of SW Holgate. Still not mapped but from all the texts, this one sounds pretty widespread. … North Admiral too. (See comments for some specific locations.)

10:03 PM: The outage stretches east of High Point too – just got a text from someone on “Snake Hill” (29th-31st, Brandon-Findlay).

10:17 PM: Aaron on Walnut Avenue tells us they’ve just had a big tree go down, taking out THREE power poles and their lines. …. Police were just dispatched to another tree at 47th/Charlestown … City Light finally just acknowledged their map has stalled again … SEA airport’s weather station recorded a 55 mph wind gust earlier tonight

10:54 PM: City Light warns, “Crews will work through the night. It’s going to take time to restore power. Crews are first dispatched to areas that pose an immediate safety threat.” … The map’s catching up again – showing 113,000+ out service-area-wide – but the north West Seattle outage (Alki to beyond The Junction) still isn’t showing, so there’s still more to add …

11:39 PM: SCL map finally shows the extent of the north West Seattle outage, more than 8,300 homes and businesses.

The map is still a little wacky, as the green markers are supposed to signify “planned outages” and there’s no way those were happening in multiple locations tonight. But the pink shading is likely a fairly accurate representation of who’s out. We count at least 13,000 West Seattle customers who’ve lost power tonight.

12:39 AM: Some texted reports of power restored, including Charlestown Hill and north and south of The Junction.

5:22 AM: Thousands got their power back in the early morning hours – some just moments ago – but thousands more remain out. The weather has calmed as expected. We’re working on the morning traffic update.

    I heard the boom! From a couple of blocks away. Hope everyone’s okay 

    • Scott November 19, 2024 (9:57 pm)

      The downed tree on 21st is in the 5600 block, not near Barton. Me and a neighbor cleared it so the road is clear. 

      • CJ November 20, 2024 (7:28 am)

        THANK YOU!!

  • Gary November 19, 2024 (5:59 pm)

    Apparently a large tree has fallen on the Dakota end of 52nd Pl (alley), south of Dakota.

  • Mother Nature November 19, 2024 (6:06 pm)

    I would stay inside if you can. Don’t drive. The wind is powerful coming from the SE. Most storms hit from the West. Be safe.

  • H November 19, 2024 (6:30 pm)

    Do you still have to notify SCL of outages? Or is the grid smart enough now to know when there are outages?

    • WSB November 19, 2024 (6:40 pm)

      When in doubt, call. There’s still a few non-automated areas …

    • SamIAm November 19, 2024 (7:00 pm)

      The power outage report number has been busy for the last 10 minutes. I don’t see any other way to report outages, but we’re out at 56th and Orleans now.

      • OrleansDream November 19, 2024 (7:09 pm)

        The SCL outage reporting system is down. I got through twice. Entered in my information and when it came time to submit, the system couldn’t process the report and sent me to an operator. A recording then informed me the SCL offices are closed. Any other means of making a report? Find it fix it?

        • Annette November 19, 2024 (7:41 pm)

          What about using text to: 206-293-6302.

    • Jason L November 19, 2024 (7:13 pm)

      Definitely heard the explosion from 50th and Charlestown. Thought it was thunder.

  • Westlocal November 19, 2024 (6:37 pm)

    Power line down and hanging in alley between Genesee and Dakota and 52nd and 53rd  911 and SCL called large boom heard. Be safe out there.

  • Teresa Nyang November 19, 2024 (7:05 pm)

    Every time I call Seattle lights to report outage the system said it can’t because of technical difficulties, but power outage at Holden and 9th

  • Rhonda November 19, 2024 (7:14 pm)

    I’m on a Washington State ferry right now. Bumpy ride but not as bad as I thought it would be. Feels like driving on rough, cracked pavement. They just slowed the ferry down in the middle of the Sound to avoid the waves. The car deck wind is shaking the cars. Lots of large, bright explosions off to the East in the distance. Sideways rain and lots of debris in the air.

    • Angie November 19, 2024 (10:18 pm)

      Wow! Hope you got to your destination safely!

      • Rhonda November 19, 2024 (11:17 pm)

        Yes, got home to Arbor Heights an hour ago, thank you. Power is out in almost every direction but we still have it on our street, thank God. It was very difficult to drive on the freeway due to the wind gusts.

  • Emerson November 19, 2024 (7:14 pm)

    Lights just went out here at 18th and Henderson!

    Highland Park Elementary still has power, but here down the block to the south on 10th the power is out. Looks like some on 9th Ave across the alley still looks like they have power for now.

  • AH Neighbor November 19, 2024 (7:31 pm)

    I had to head out into the craziness, and there are tons of branches down, and people walking dogs in all black. Stay safe and drive safe!

      Yeah, a side effect of power outages or flickers, as are fire alarms. Keeps firefighters VERY busy, along with downed wires.

  • J. Penrose November 19, 2024 (7:43 pm)

    25th and Trenton. Some outages. North end of WW village and the athletic field are on.

    • sna November 19, 2024 (7:54 pm)

      Probably closed to let a couple of tugs come down the Duwamish. A very large barge partially broke free. 

      • WSB November 19, 2024 (8:10 pm)

        No, WSDOT says it’s “stuck in the up position.”

    • Joah November 19, 2024 (7:55 pm)

      I knew I should have driven to the high bridge instead 😭

  • Jf November 19, 2024 (9:03 pm)

    How do we learn estimate time to restore power? 

    • WSB November 19, 2024 (9:20 pm)

      As I’ve noted above, the estimates are *useless* and, SCL told us directly once upon a time, based on guesses. But if you still want to know, click your outage on the map and you should see it. I’ll warn you, though, the current restoration guesstimates seem to be DAYS away …

    • K November 19, 2024 (9:44 pm)

      There are hundreds of thousands without power in the region, and outlying areas are experiencing more extreme weather than here, which h means it may be difficult to get additional crews in as needed.  Feel like this is gonna be a long haul.

  • SR November 19, 2024 (9:03 pm)

    My power has been out for 2hrs now. Live on delridge. Surprisingly going north on delridge I can see from my house that the power is still on over there. Also heard a loud bang and shook the house but cant seem to find where it’s coming from!

    We are in the Genesee Hill “island“ that first reported going dark around 6 PM. We still have no power and no word as to when it might come back. All of 53rd between Andover and Charleston is out as well as the west side of 52nd. Appears to be other outages in the same blocks, extending to Genesee. The Seattle city light map only reflects a few homes here and there, but there are many more. When you call the hotline, you only get a recording saying they are too busy to take more calls.

    • GHJ November 20, 2024 (7:53 pm)

      Yup. We’re on 54th between Andover and Charlestown. Still utter darkness. Past the 24 hour point now

    Please hurry up and fix the power so that deadlock can get patched. Thanks
