WEST SEATTLE WINDSTORM: The last unresolved major outage is over

5:18 PM: As we head into evening, that’s the last major outage in not only West Seattle, but citywide, with the 1,600+ affected customers representing just under half the 3,800+ customers still out around Seattle City Light‘s entire territory. For earlier events, see our morning coverage here and midday/afternoon coverage here. Best news is that the wind has moved on, and we’re even expecting a break from the rain, tonight at least through Thursday – when the temperature could reach almost 60 degrees.

5:27 PM: As if by magic, a moment after we published this, the outage ended, and the SCL map now reflects that.

    Any news about when the WiFi will be back on Alki?

      Have you tried rebooting your router? Sometimes people have reported success with that, in past outages ….

        My Xfinity tv and internet went out on Alki at 5 this morning. Still off and their  phone number and website say nothing and show nothing. At this point not expecting anything from them until tomorrow.

    We’re in the area above and just got our power back in the last 5 minutes or so.

      I checked the map down to the last millisecond before I hit “publish,” but sometimes the map lags … we’ll see soon enough

        And yes, the outage has now vanished from the map. Good news!

    I watched the SCL crew replace the power pole at Raymond and 44th. Tremendously impressive teamwork for the 8 man crew. And the power came on minutes later. Thank you to SCL! The entire neighborhood is grateful

    The Charleston-California lights were still out at 9 PM last night. Hope they’re back now.

    Cable and internet came back on here by Homestead @7 this morning.

    Our power was out for 9.5 hours but watched the City crews working nonstop gave me patience along with respect for how hard they work in all weather conditions. We sat patiently in front of our GAS fireplace. Thank you Seattle City Crews. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
